Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS-2)
update day one and two
NCORE
AMPS-2 workshops are intended to build on AMPS skills
developed from using the evaluation tool with clients in any area of
clinical practice or research. As skills in administering the
assessment increase, a need to learn more about interpreting,
reporting and documenting AMPS results is needed. These two
separate but linked follow up workshops are intended to fill this
gap and also provide an opportunity for occupational therapists to
work through the interpretation and documentation process using
the AMPS reports and documentation from one of their own clients
as their case study. CPD Certificate of attendance awarded: 12
hours. Venue: London Road Community Hospital, Derby. Cost:
£270. For more information and other events, email: uhdb.ncore@
