Pearson ‘Always Learning' Award for Occupational Therapists

23 February 2012

Calling All Occupational Therapists! Pearson ‘Always Learning’ Award Entries Close 2 March

New Zealand occupational therapists have just over a week left to apply for a new award offered by Pearson Clinical Assessment. The ‘Always Learning’ Award comprises a $5000 grant aimed at encouraging Kiwi OT initiatives and to celebrate learning.

The Award is open to all New Zealand-based occupational therapists that hold a current New Zealand practising certificate. To enter, occupational therapists can complete a simple online application form at www.psychcorp.com.au/alwayslearningaward. Applications close on 2 March 2012.

Pearson set up the Award to profile and celebrate the great work of occupational therapists in New Zealand. The $5,000 grant will pave the way for an occupational therapist to conduct further study in a particular area of interest and to share the key learnings and experience from the study with other occupational therapists on completion.

The grant will be used to improve the health and well-being of New Zealanders and the wider OT community.

Pearson Clinical Assessment is a division of Pearson PLC - the world’s leading publisher and producer of materials that help educate millions of people worldwide. For the New Zealand market, Pearson offers standardised assessment tools for occupational therapists and provides free support and training to assist those using the tests.
