We encourage orthotic personnel (Orthotists, Orthotic Technicians, Orthotic Assistants) to apply for reimbursement from the Orthotic Education and Training Trust. Application forms are available from the OETT website www.oett.org.uk Requests for reimbursement must include evidence of reflective learning using the CPD form provided on the website
Educational Funding Support
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).
Application forms for Funding can be found on the OETT website
As general guidance, the following should be noted, although each case is treated individually and exceptions may be made (this is by no means an exhaustive list):
1. Short Courses and Workshops
Applications for reimbursement of attendance on short courses (duration of three weeks or less), must be submitted via the professional body, BAPO (address at the end of these guidance notes), on a form dedicated to this purpose. (PDF format available from this web-site or on request from BAPO or the Clerk to the Trustees). The course fee, plus travel and accommodation, up to a specified limit, will normally be reimbursed. It is requested that all claims are routinely submitted on completion of the short course; unduly late applications for reimbursement will only be made at the discretion of the Trustees.
