With growing awareness and understanding of the menopausal transition that women experience, the question arises: What role can Occupational Therapists play in supporting them? Perimenopause can significantly influence women’s participation in meaningful occupations, daily roles, and routines, and may even challenge their sense of occupational identity. Given their expertise in the value of occupation for health and wellbeing, occupational therapists are uniquely positioned to provide support during this life stage.

Selecting the right pressure cushion is essential for maintaining comfort, promoting healthy posture, and preventing pressure injuries for individuals who spend extended periods sitting.

This webinar demystifies artificial intelligence for healthcare professionals who may feel overwhelmed or uncertain about AI's role in clinical practice. Moving beyond tech jargon and hype, we'll explore what AI actually is, how it works in healthcare contexts, and most importantly, how to use it safely and ethically in your daily practice.

Participants will learn practical applications for documentation, care planning, and clinical research synthesis, while addressing critical concerns about patient privacy, data security, and maintaining professional judgment. Through real-world examples from a physical therapy context, attendees will discover how AI can become a valuable thinking partner and help them reclaim time for patient care without compromising quality or ethics. The session incorporates recent ethical guidance from professional organisations to ensure responsible AI implementation.

In this 1-hour webinar, we will explore the clinical distinctions between comfort seating and posture-protecting seating systems. Through evidence-informed discussion and practical examples, participants will gain clarity on how seating choices impact posture, function, and long-term health outcomes.

We will examine the design features and intended use of comfort seating versus posture-protecting systems, and critically evaluate their implications for individuals with complex needs. The session will also support therapists in applying clinical reasoning to seating prescriptions, balancing comfort, alignment, and participation goals.
