Occupational Therapy: Ideas for potential cross-school research collaboration
Occupational Therapy week comes hot on the heels of the launch of the new Research Centre the Centre for Wellbeing and Quality of Life (CeWQoL).
This University wide centre aims to apply research on wellbeing and quality of life to directly enhance that of the local population including BU Staff and Students. The everyday work of Occupational Therapists fits naturally within this centre due to the link between occupations and health and wellbeing. But potential research relevant to the other Research Centres within the university could equally impact upon our work.

School of Health and Social Care - Qualitative experience of occupations pre/post illness or disability / Multi-disciplinary and Multi-agency working to improve outcomes for patients / Review of interprofessional education / Occupational Science research / The experience of occupation in pregnancy
