Will Wade’s Summary

Currently working half time in research and half time in clinical (wheelchair services) and aware that my research is coming to an end in November I'm looking for my next big challenge!

Having arrived into the world of Occupational Therapy (OT) from a world of IT I have tried to bring some of the things I miss from IT into OT(!). These include social networking and the use of resources such as my work on metaot.com. I'm always keen to further develop the possibilities that are possible to help develop the OT profession using such resources.

My interests from a web angle are usability, accessibility and application frameworks (cakePHP, drupal, jquery) and have constantly been involved with developing small applications since my journey into OT.
