Interim Executive Management Meeting, May 23rd-28th 2011, Trinidad and Tobago

For the duration of the Interim Executive Management Meeting (IEMM), the WFOT Executive participated in a busy schedule comprising the WFOT business meetings, meetings with the Trinidad and Tobago Occupational Therapy Association (TTOTA) to gain information on occupational therapy and current issues in the Caribbean, and meetings with key stakeholders to support the work of TTOTA to promote and develop occupational therapy. The visit by the WFOT Executive Management Team provided great support to TTOTA in its work towards raising the profile of occupational therapy and promoting the need for an occupational therapy educational programme in Trinidad and Tobago. The outcomes of the visit have been very positive for the profession in this area. The WFOT Executive made site visits to some clinics and services in Trinidad including Hibiscus Place, a soon-to-be opened adult day centre, Caribbean Kids and Family Therapy Organisation (CKFTO) with Sara Stephens a founding member of the organisation and at the time the clinical director, and Re new – a private physical dysfunction clinic.
