The first aim in our operational framework is to develop the practice of occupational therapy, this can be achieved through the development of occupational therapists.
The Trust offers funding for masters level study (M level) to registered occupational therapists. Applicants are invited to apply for funding to support up to 60 credits (CATS points) of study. Awards are made based on the merits of each application and the benefits to the applicant, their service and service users and, more broadly, to the profession for those undertaking a dissertation module.
Post-registration level funding includes masters-level certificates, diplomas and full masters programmes accredited by a Higher Education Institution.
We are currently upgrading our application process to a new portal system.
