Sally Bennett is a Professor in Occupational Therapy in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. Her research interests are in knowledge translation, implementation, evidence-based practice, care of people with dementia, and use of standardised patients for teaching. Sally is a Fellow of the Occupational Therapy Australia Research Academy (FOTARA) that recognises sustained exemplary and impactful contribution to occupational therapy research. She has been Associate Editor of the Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy and the Australian Occupational Therapy Journal and on the committee of the OTA Research Foundation, and earlier roles in the World Federation of Occupational Therapists.
Sally's interest in knowledge translation and evidence based practice extends to research, teaching and service roles both nationally and internationally. She was lead investigator on a large NHMRC Boosting Dementia Grant together with colleagues from Australia and the USA.She is a founding member of the OTseeker team. OTseeker is an online database that contains the bibliographic details of systematic reviews and randomised controlled trials relevant to occupational therapy (www.otseeker.com). The randomised controlled trials are also critically appraised in terms of their internal validity and statistical reporting. It is used by occupational therapists in over 150 countries and used extensively for teaching and research. Sally co-led an an industry funded research project to evaluate the impact of a knowledge translation capacity building inititiative for a large number of therapists in Queensland Health designed to support their application of knowledge translation methods within their clinical specialty areas, which has had direct clinical impact.
