Interface to Integration

A strategy for modernising occupational therapy services in local health and social care communities

This COT strategy was launched in 2002 and sought to:

• promote the integration of occupational therapy services between and across the health and social care
• agencies that would better use current resources and provide a more timely response to service users
• provide a conceptual model for service delivery based on the revised International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF-2)
• re-assert the value and importance of 'occupation' for the users of occupational therapy services and to
• restore its central place in the practice of the profession

 
Following this publication a response was produced to the comments received on the strategy.
