Education
Due to expertise in the area of hand and upper limb management, HandsOn staff are involved in a regular programme of professional education forums.Undergraduates are regularly welcomed at HandsOn as part of the University of Queensland clinical placement program for occupational therapy students. In addition, post graduates are welcome to ‘workshadow' at HandsOn. Workshadowing offers a unique opportunity to upgrade both knowledge and skills related to hand therapy, in a clinical setting with qualified hand therapists. This can be undertaken on as informal mentoring program.
