Consultation responses
The Scottish sub-group of the College of Occupational Therapists Specialist Section – Mental Health (COTSSMH), has sent responses to the consultations Framework for Rehabilitation, Mental Health Occupational Therapy Strategy, AHP Briefing and the COT Briefing on the Adults with Incapacity Act.
Due to the recent launch of the Scottish Mental Health Delivery Plan, we also intend to brief Scottish members on the implications of this paper.Our current committee is:

We always welcome new committee members.
The main benefits from being on the committee are those from networking opportunities, keeping up to date with professional and legislative changes and developments, CPD and EBP, and that for each event we organise we get two free places. The chairperson receives a free place at the COT SS Mental Health annual conference. We currently meet on a bi-monthly basis on a Friday afternoon in Edinburgh but this is very open to negotiation.
