The Occupational Therapy Service directors to champion their business values at The OT Show
The directors of The Occupational Therapy Service, a clinically led OT company, will be showcasing why their values can enhance everyday practice for delegates attending The Occupational Therapy (OT) Show 2025 at Birmingham’s NEC from 26-27 November.
As a respected independent practice, The Occupational Therapy Service collaborates with case managers, healthcare teams, local authorities, and industry partners to raise standards, improve systems, and deliver person-led change.
Its three directors, President of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists, Samantha Shann; Adam Ferry, specialist in neurological rehabilitation and proportionate care; and Lucy Leonard, with over 25 years’ experience in complex rehabilitation and consultancy, will be leading their team of associates at the show, where they will be on Stand D27. Together they will be available to talk about clinical practice, service innovation, training, and collaboration across health, social care, and industry.
As event partners, they have helped shape this year’s event CPD programme, reflecting the values of modern occupational therapy. These values drive how and why The Occupational Therapy Service do what they do and during the event, the three Directors will be available to explore how these principles can enhance everyday practice and inspire meaningful change.
The Occupational Therapy Service values that will be explored are:
- Person-led occupation
We work alongside people to identify what truly matters in their daily lives, using occupation as the foundation for every intervention.
Why it matters: Because meaningful activity is what gives life purpose, and it’s where change really happens. - Evidence-informed practice
Our recommendations are shaped by clinical expertise, research, and professional standards, ensuring interventions are safe, effective, and goal-oriented.
Why it matters: People deserve the best of our profession, not guesswork or trends. - Enabling interdependence
We support people to engage in meaningful activities by fostering skills, confidence, and supportive environments, recognising that wellbeing is often built through connection with others. - Ethical and accountable
We act with professional integrity, making transparent decisions that respect rights, needs, and the principles of proportionate care. - Inclusive environments
We design and recommend solutions that remove barriers, promote accessibility, and allow people to thrive in their chosen occupations.
Why it matters: Everyone should have the opportunity to take part in the activities that matter to them.
Director Adam Ferry concludes by saying: “We’re excited to be attending The OT Show this year. What sets us apart is that we’re led by practising occupational therapists.
“Every decision we make is grounded in clinical insight, professional standards, and a deep understanding of the environments people live and work in – values we will aways uphold in the name of effective OT.”
