OT Courses - UK

The good thing about OT is that its actually quite a small world. The bad thing is its actually quite a small and hard-to-find-any-information world. Really as a test for future, much more useful and intresting "things"that I have planned, I have created a database of all OT Courses from around the world. Currently data is viewable for the UK only but USA and Australia are just around the corner (If you are from the USA, Australia or New Zealand please contact me to help me out!!). Here are the UK courses:

I am keen for students to write comments on courses from their institution - but please note the comments are moderated so be nice! Also please be aware that courses are constantly changing so take anything that may be written with a pinch of salt. I remember when I was fist looking into the world of OT and it was quite frankly a nightmare to find any information about the courses apart from the universities own literature and the QAA site*. I hope this may be useful to you if you wonder which courses to go for.

Any problems with the data then drop me a line.

*Only useful for UK courses.

NZ courses

Hi
Happy to help out with OT courses - there are just two programmes in New Zealand - so much easier to get loaded into your site.
I'm not sure if there is somewhere I should be doing this or whether you pick it up from here but:

School of Occupational Therapy, Otago Polytechnic

School of Occupational Therapy, Auckland University of Technology
http://www.aut.ac.nz/schools/occupational_therapy/

I work for Otago Polytechnic - which had an innovative programme that aims to build our use of a range of technologies to support student's learning. Recently I started a project group with a group of therapists to explore the use of Web 2.0 tools as means for profesional development. We've all started a blog - and hope you might have a few spare moments to come and visit - oteducation.wordpress.com The blogs of the group can be found under the heading Web 2.0 project. I'll also direct the group to your request for outcome measures!
