Welcome to Harrison Training
We are the UK leader in providing training and continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities to occupational therapists, healthcare professionals, and health and social care support workers.
Given the greater emphasis on the need to develop skills and knowledge in a changing healthcare environment, the means to demonstrate continuing professional development at all levels should be easy to access and maintain.
Our goal is to provide a comprehensive range of high quality services for individuals and organisations which promote evidence-based knowledge and support ongoing competence to practice.
Mental Health Focus
Relevant and practical training opportunities for OTs in this field have been limited. The following courses aim to equip practioners with tools for immediate use whilst also giving the evidence base.
