Absolutely loving hearing everyone's experience and what they are bringing to the table to care for our patients and enhance their experience - and harnessing this for shared learning.

Another great Activity Co-ordinator Training and Development Package Session yesterday. This time looking at Groupwork Skills and Management!
Great to see everyone so engaged and taking their time to share and learn from one another

@TheLiveTeam_ Great meeting the new students today. They got straight into our activities with our baking group, music appreciation group, and a pool tournament. We can already see they will flourish on their placements. Looking forward to seeing more of them #students
@Bromley_by_Bow pointing out what should be obvious:
social prescribing cannot be effective if the services & activities that people are encouraged to engage with are not adequately funded. Currently, they are not.
Fantastic QI Project by @TheLiveTeam_ Student OTs Ashleigh and Kirsty at Highbury Hospital around therapeutic activity engagement with patients, using the QI 4 Step Model: with recommendations based on trials of ideas on two wards @NottsHealthcare@NottshcOt 👏👍
Interesting to see how this can guide and empower Therapeutic approaches and initiatives on Inpatient Mental Health Wards...
We are here to Care, not Contain!
Starting our regular national call to discuss @NHSEngland culture of care programme with AHP leaders - great to see such so many colleagues with us @SuzanneRastrick@tolanAHP@rcpsych
Today we made pick-pads! These sensory tools are made with silicone and beads, to help replace skin-picking habits with a calming tactile experience, promoting discomfort reduction
Huge thank you to our donations that have been kindly received by Highbury AMH. A new snooker table, football equipment and tennis balls.

Had some really positive conversations and reflections to develop a set of Local Guidelines around enabling Activity Boxes, to increase engagement, good practice and patient experience @NottsHealthcare
Great seeing our hard working ACs showing their passion for engagement!
