MSc Prosthetics and Orthotics – Stephanie Caisley

I have recently completed my MSC in Prosthetics and Orthotics at the University of Strathclyde which would not have been possible without the support and generosity of OETT, who provided 67% of the tuition fees, enabling me to carry out this period of study.

My thesis focused on KAFOs as well as patient interaction, where I considered issues surrounding communication strategies.  This gave me the opportunity to research patient information leaflets with particular reference to KAFO’s which has been extremely beneficial to both my clinical and professional practice.   I would like to take this opportunity to thank OETT for their very generous assistance, for which I am very grateful.

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).
