About this network

The virtual Network meets bi-monthly to support the West Midlands Improvement Programme providing information, improvement and best practice sharing for activists across the region. It also:

  • provides leadership for POT in local authorities, raising and maintaining a high profile for the profession and what it contributes to social care
  • participates in transforming social care delivery through a wider recognition of the potential of OT
  • shares best practice, learning and constructive challenge to support the best outcomes for our communities.

The Network is chaired by Andrea Gronow, team manager for occupational therapy at Dudley Council, and managed by Lynne Bowers, workforce lead, WM ADASS.
