Pamela McGeachan – Junior Orthotist

Nottingham University Hospitals

I first applied for OETT funding when my free paper abstract was accepted to be presented at the ISPO 14th World Congress in Hyderbad, India.

Having just graduated, the support OETT offered me to participate in the Congress was exceptional and eased the financial aspect of attending such a worthwhile event.

For me, attending and presenting at the Congress was an achievement which has given me a whole new sense of enthusiasm towards my profession. There was a whole range of topics, information and new innovations and I definitely feel I came home more enlightened.

Knowing that OETT support exists, I feel encouraged in furthering my knowledge base and skills.

Thank you OETT.

The Orthotic Education and Training Trust was originally set up by the Department of Health and the British Surgical Trades Association, in partnership with the British Institute of Surgical Technologists, to provide a private fund for the training and education of Orthotists. The income was substantially derived from a levy on orthotic device sales to the NHS. This levy ceased when the training of Orthotists progressed to degree courses funded directly by government within the state higher education system.

The Trustees now manage the investment income derived from the levy funds as its only source of income. Their focus currently is on postgraduate training and education. The object of the Trust as defined by its deed is to fund firstly, the education and training of orthotists, orthotic managers and technologists and secondly, the training of technicians concerning surgical and medical appliances and devices (i.e. orthotic devices).
