The Occupational Therapy Show 2026

The Occupational Therapy Show brings the UK occupational therapy community together for two days in Hall 6 at NEC Birmingham. It pairs a large supplier exhibition of equipment, services and assistive products with a CPD-certified programme of keynotes, seminars and exhibitor demonstrations, so therapists can update their practice and source new solutions for their clients in one visit.

• Occupational therapists
• Case managers

• Managers working with equipment service teams
