More than 160 people attended the showcase, which included allied health clinicians from diverse areas of practice and settings—heads of services and departments as well as representatives from the professional association and the Australian Occupational Therapy Journal, academics, recent graduates and current occupational therapy students.
The keynote speakers for the event were Professor Lindy Clemson and Professor Anita Bundy. Staff and students presented 10-minute papers, demonstrating the diversity of research conducted by the discipline.
“It was incredibly successful,” said one of the event organisers Dr Nicola Hancock. “Twenty-four occupational therapy discipline academics and post graduate research students presented short ‘tasters’ of some of the research work they are currently engaged in.”
