This paper is based on a presentation given at the 10th International Conference on Practice Teaching and Field Education in Health and Social Work in April 2014. Occupational Therapy student non-traditional placements are an important element of developing autonomous practitioner skills. This paper considers the changes which have led to an increase in the use of non-traditional placements, and the significance of their basis in the third sector for a profession with origins in social justice and reform in the light of present health and social inequalities. It considers the advantages these placements bring to students and their universities, but also argues that the benefits to all stakeholders, including third sector organisations and their clients are critically reviewed.

"Politics of Occupation-Centred Practice addresses the cultural aspects of occupational identity and draws out the implications for practice, moving beyond the clinical environment to include the occupational therapist's work in the wider community"--Provided by publisher

The companion text to Occupational Therapy without Borders - Volume 1: learning from the spirit of survivors!In this landmark text writers from around the world discuss a plurality of occupation-based approaches that explicitly acknowledge the full potential of the art and science of occupational therapy. The profession is presented as a political possibilities-based practice, concerned with what matters most to people in real life contexts, generating practice-based evidence to complement evidence-based practice. As these writers demonstrate, occupational therapies are far more than, as some critical views have suggested, a monoculture of practice rooted in Western modernity. Nobel Peace Laureate Desmond Tutu captures the ethos of this book, which essentially calls for engagements in the service of a purpose that is larger than the advancement of our profession's interests: 'Your particular approach to advancing our wellbeing and health strikes me as both unique and easily taken for granted. Whilst you value and work with medical understandings, your main aim seems to go beyond these. You seem to enable people to appreciate more consciously how what we do to and with ourselves and others on a daily basis impacts on our individual and collective wellbeing. As occupational therapists you have a significant contribution to make [.] allowing people from all walks of life to contribute meaningfully to the wellbeing of others.'Links philosophy with practical examples of engaging people in ordinary occupations of daily life as a means of enabling them to transform their own livesIncludes contributions from worldwide leaders in occupational therapy research and practiceDescribes concrete initiatives in under-served and neglected populationsLooks at social and political mechanisms that influence people's access to useful and meaningful occupationChapters increase diversity of contributions - geographically, culturally and politicallyEmphasis on practice, education and research maintains academic credibilityA glossary and practical examples in nearly every chapter make text more accessible to students

This booklet has been developed by the members of the European Network of Occupational Therapy in Higher Education (ENOTHE) citizenship project group. ; [Abstract] This booklet presents educational materials for teachers or educators and students of occupational therapy in higher education programmes. The materials can also be applied in interprofessional programmes, to enable an occupation-based approach to citizenship to be negotiated in the inter-curricula context. In addition, they will be useful for the continuing professional development of people working in health and social fields and in community development programmes. The general aim is to facilitate and highlight addressing issues of citizenship in the contemporary education of occupational therapists. The purpose is to bring the co-creation of knowledge, skills and values of participatory citizenship together with strategic political, cultural and critical thinking into education, particularly at the Diploma/Bachelor or pre-registration levels. The booklet is written in three sections, which present: Section 1: An introduction to the concept of citizenship and particularly of participatory citizenship (Chapter 2). Section 2: A discussion of competences and learning outcomes, as well as of the theoretical approaches that underpin these educational materials (Chapters 3 and 4). Section 3: A range of educational materials, enabling flexible, contextualised, approaches, for the exploration, understanding and development of knowledge regarding participatory citizenship (Chapter 5). ; This booklet has been published with the support from a grant of the European Network for Occupational Therapy in Higher Education (ENOTHE) for the Project: "Citizenship II".
