National Occupational Therapy Promotion Week- 2008
As skilled health professional’s we recognise the benefits of
continued professional development and a strong professional
network. In this OT week we choose an education program linked to
the many job opportunities for OT i.e. those available currently in
the NGO sector. Our chosen courses were ‘Project Management,
Monitoring and Evaluation’ as well as ‘Writing Skills for
Publication’. As part of National OT week a group of OT’s visited a
neighbouring district and offered community based OT services for a
range of disability groups. Our week has also included some visits
from the national press service, and a cultural film festival (of
films which touched a disability theme). We all feel that it has
been an incredibly successful OT Week, in which there has been great
opportunity to share skills and experiences. BOTA (our national
association) toke a big role in the organizing of this National OT
week. |
