OTASA

Occupational Therapy Association of South Africa

Occupational therapy (OT) is a degree-based health profession, regulated by the Health Professional Council of South Africa (HPCSA). All occupational therapists working in South Africa are required to be registered to practice. This registration process is the legislative responsibility of the HPCSA https://www.hpcsa.co.za and is supported by the Occupational Therapy, Medical Orthotics, Prosthetics and Arts Therapy Board.

WFOT Disaster Preparedness and Risk Reduction Manual

On the 15th July 2022, WFOT launched its new WFOT Publication, the Disaster Preparedness and Risk Reduction Manual. Authored by Dr. Tamara Barboza and Dr. Kit Sinclair, the new WFOT publication draws upon an analysis of data collected through qualitative interviews with occupational therapists from around the world. The manual provides principles and examples of disaster preparedness and risk reduction initiatives that can be implemented across all levels of society and occupational therapy practice, education, research and policy.
