COTSS-IP Annual Conference 16-17 March 2012
We are pleased to announce that this year we will be holding our annual conference on Friday 16th and Saturday 17th March 2012 in the Hilton Milton Keynes Hotel.
As with previous years, we will be running our ‘Look before you Leap’ Seminar on the Friday 16th March. This is ideal for any OTs who are new to Independent Practice or thinking about taking it up. It will outline the opportunities, practicalities such as cash flow, finances and insurance, and the perils and pitfalls of independent practice. We will also be hearing stories from OTs who have made the LEAP into independent practice. Also on Friday will be the fifth Medico-Legal Forum for OTs thinking about doing medico-legal work but do not know what it is all about. The evening will kick off with the AGM for COTSS-IP members followed by a networking dinner. Saturday will be dedicated to the main event which this year is based around the theme 'Risks and Rewards'. Here you will have the opportunity to attend some workshops, visit exhibitors at the event and engage in general networking with your peers.
See the Annual Conference 2012 section for more details.
