The Elizabeth Casson Trust offers a mentoring programme for occupational therapists. Our intention is for the programme to be available across the profession for individuals at all stages of their career journey.
This development will support our charitable purpose to ‘further the profession of occupational therapy’ and our operational intention to ‘explore, develop and implement opportunities with occupational therapists from all areas and relevant organisations that will facilitate confidence building, capability and inclusion’.
The fifth run of our mentoring programme will run from June until November 2026.
This cohort is being led by trustee lead, Dr Vimal Sriram with support from our Mentoring Champions: Dr Becca Khanna, Professor Anita Atwal, Naomi Hankinson, Anne Robinson and Julia Skelton alongside our operations team: Dr Kate Turner and Laura Rossiter.
The mentoring champions (MCs) have experienced being mentored as well as being mentors and will lead on delivering the programme and continuing to build the Elizabeth Casson mentoring community.
Registration for this cohort will open on 1st April 2026. Matching will take place in May 2026 ready for the June 2026 start.
All mentors will be provided with our mentoring handbook, six videos covering topics such as storytelling and having difficult conversations, four drop in sessions and the mentoring inbox.
