2007 Building the Evidence for Occupational Therapy Priorities for Research, 2007, College of Occupational Therapists.
Abstract:
Building the evidence for occupational therapy: priorities for research reflects the wide range of work that the Research and Development (R&D) group at the College of Occupational Therapists has conducted or commissioned in order to identify the research priorities across the different constituencies within the occupational therapy profession in the UK. The work is timely and the R&D group is to be congratulated on its efforts. Occupational therapy in the UK is a relative newcomer to the research arena and this document, alongside the launch of the UK Occupational Therapy Research Foundation later this year, is an important milestone on the profession’s journey to achieving its long-term aim, that:
- All occupational therapy practice will be knowledge and evidence based
within a respected culture of high quality research (White and Creek 2007).
