The Royal College has six RCOT Boards: RCOT Board Learning and Development RCOT Board Research and Development RCOT Board England RCOT Board Northern Ireland RCOT Board Scotland RCOT Board Wales RCOT Boards have an advisory and strategic role in supporting the delivery of the RCOT annual workplan and relevant core team workplan objectives. Each Board meets three times a year. One of the meetings will take place at a venue and two will take place virtually. Work is ongoing between meetings and members can be asked to attend meetings and/or events as representatives of the Royal College. Board members normally serve for a three-year term of office. Board membership Each RCOT Board has eight members including the Chair, who is also a member of Council, and a UNISON Representative. Up to two co-opted members can be elected for a period of up to one year to provide additional expertise. If you are looking for an opportunity to contribute to the future of your profession, enjoy debate, can think strategically and want to make a difference then you may be interested in taking up a position on one of our Boards. Board membership provides an excellent opportunity for members to contribute their knowledge and experience in their chosen area of expertise and to influence the work of the Royal College. It also offers individuals an amazing opportunity to be involved in the professional community of occupational therapy at a national level. RCOT Board chairs are elected through the annual RCOT/BAOT Council election process, as the positions fall vacant. RCOT Board vacancies RCOT Board vacancies are usually advertised in OTnews and other relevant RCOT media channels for all members to consider and apply for.
