Introducing the OT Other Thoughts blog

Well, much like an episode of Starsky and Hutch, or the James Bond films, I have set the scene with a couple of early posts before rolling the opening credits.

This is the blog for Harrison Training to share some thoughts on the OT profession generally.  Welcome.

It is designed to provide stimulus for debate and interesting conversation.

OT Other Thoughts will write about the specific challenges that the occupational therapy and health care sectors are presented with, but also more general concerns.   There will be articles looking at specific practice areas, training and compliance issues , but also more conceptual areas as well.

This blog will also enable us to further support and add value to the training that we deliver.

We anticipate that articles will be written by staff and associates of Harrison Training, but also by a broad spectrum of practitioners and academics within and outside the OT profession.

I put myself forward as an example, and in the interest of full disclosure. 

I am not an Occupational Therapist.  Articles that I write are written from an outsider’s self-admittedly ignorant point of view.  My role, accordingly, is not to set down an authoritative line, but simply to provoke thought and discussion.

A few rules, but they’re really easy.  They’re more guidelines than rules…

1. I will be blogging fortnightly at least so click on the RSS subscription button on the right to get notified of new articles.  You can watch this video for more details about how RSS works.  Alternatively, subscribe to be notified by email.
2. Answer back.  Please do comment on any articles.  All comments are read but will be posted unmoderated unless, of course, they are offensive.  Or illegal.   
3. Suggest areas or topics you would like us to explore.  We will be more than happy to follow your lead.
4. Recommend other sites and blogs that you enjoy reading so we can list them in our “You might also be interested in…” column on the right.

It’s good to meet you all.  See you around!
