• Resumen

  • Research, by informing evidence-based practice, should be the foundation for occupational therapy. Research requires skilled and trained individuals to carry it out effectively. In this piece, two postregistration occupational therapists, currently undertaking PhDs, discuss the limited opportunities available to use their research skills to develop occupational therapy. They explore the barriers that exist for PhD-level basic grade clinicians and, by highlighting the variety of skills that they offer to the workplace, show the benefits of employing research-competent individuals.
