Episode 70 – Standing For RCOT Council Seat For Learning & Development
In this episode, I am joined by Dr Musharrat Ahmed-Landeryou to dicuss why she is standing for the RCOT council member seat for Learning & Development. Members of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT) in England have the democratic right to select a candidate for the seat of Council Member. With the ballots closing on Tuesday, 25th June at 5:30pm via post, I took an opportunity to have a conversation with Musharrat about the reasons behind her deciding to stand for it. Please make you get involved in the voting process if you are a member of the RCOT because your vote matters
Dr Ahmed-Landeryou can be found on Twitter and Instagram if you would like to engage with her. (@LecturerMish)

Episode 69 – AntiRacist Occupational Therapy, Unsettling The Status Quo
In this episode, I am in conversation with Musharrat Ahmed-Landeryou, Sherrille Tayson & Marie-Lyne Grenier discussing the book “AntiRacist Occupational Therapy, Unsettling The Status Quo”. We also hear from Dr Khalilah Johnson & Isla Whittington about being part of the authoring team for this book. Musharrat gathered a wonderful group of authors from around the globe to bring about this book which I believe was very much needed in the field of Occupational Therapy.
