Royal College of Occupational Therapists ‘The social care system is facing unprecedented pressure and is broken’ Julia Scott, Chief Executive Officer, Royal College of Occupational Therapists We must focus on creating services that help older people to do as much as they can for themselves. This can be achieved by • Prevention or delaying the need for care and support • Helping older people remain in their communities • Ensuring equality of access to occupational therapy Those that receive help from an occupational therapist are more likely to be able to adapt successfully to change and manage the consequences of fragility and ill health – and remain independent.

"Occupation" refers to practical and purposeful activities that allow people to live independently and have a sense of identity. This could be essential day-to-day tasks such as self-care, work or leisure.
