šæ The Community OT CPD Library
Ā
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.
This library is a growing collection of free CPD opportunities, webinars and learning resources that I've curated specifically for community adult OTs.Ā
Over the years, I've come across some incredible education that has genuinely shaped my own practice. Rather than keeping those resources scattered across bookmarks, emails and Instagram posts, I've brought them together in one place for you.
Bookmark this page as I'll continue adding as I discover new learning opportunities.Ā
I hope it helps make finding your next CPD opportunity that little bit easier.
Happy learning,
