One of BAHT’s aims is to facilitate learning and development for Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists treating hand and upper limb conditions. The BAHT Education Sub-Committee (ESC) was formed to promote and coordinate a structured process of post graduate hand therapy education for therapists specialising in this field.

This process allows therapists to gain points at Level I (Introductory), Level II (Intermediate) and Level III (Advanced). Throughout the Level I, Level II and Level III routes there are a range of different ways therapists can gain the points required.

Once sufficient points have been achieved therapists with appropriate overall experience can then apply to the ESC to be recognised as a BAHT ‘Accredited Hand Therapist’ (AHT).
