title: Occupational therapy. Working knowledge.
abstract: Retention of OTs in mental health had been falling in one trust, with as many as 75 per cent of senior-2 posts becoming vacant during one year. OTs surveyed cited their most popular reason for leaving a post as no career development and their most popular reason for staying as working in mental health. The survey has been used to improve trust retention strategies, using information on each grade to meet the specific needs of those groups.
