In working together, both organisations hope to raise awareness of the important role technology plays in occupational therapy practice, including crisis prevention and early intervention, and to equip occupational therapists with the skills and confidence they need to use it effectively.

Clare Cochrane, director of brand and marketing at the RCOT, said: ‘This is a really exciting opportunity to support our members to become more confident using technology as part of their day-to-day practice. The work that Lilli is doing aligns with our workforce strategy, which includes reviewing the use of tech-enabled care within occupational therapy. We're looking forward to working together to raise awareness, influence policy, and provide practical tools and learning for our members. The partnership values early intervention, supports innovation and places occupational therapy at the heart of effective, person-centred interventions.'

With the recently published 10-Year Health Plan's focus on delivering more care at home, the partnership is designed to support more people to get the care they need quickly, within their communities and preventing health decline.The Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT) has partnered with home care monitoring technology specialist, Lilli, to help occupational therapists to get ready for the future and move towards using technology for more proactive care.
