Listserv for Occupational Therapists working with amputees

This service is being offered by REHABTech for occupational therapists working with individuals who have had amputations or have congenital limb deficiencies.

The listserv has been developed as a result of the 2001 ISPO Conference in Glasgow where a group of OT's identified a desire to share resources and develop collaborative relationships internationally.
In 2001 there were 15 members of the list including members as far away from Australia as Sweden, Canada and the United Kingdom. By 2006 this number was around 60.

Note: This is a fully controlled Listserv and only those listed on it will receive (or be able to send) email. You will not be "spammed" with advertising or junk if you join. Also, you will not be able to send an email if your address is not on the registered members list. (Please contact us if you have any problems, change your email or would like to be removed from the list)

If you are an OT and would like to utilise this service, or work with an OT who might benefit from knowing about the service please contact Karen Roberts at REHAB.Tech@eng.monash.edu.au
