"If we don’t invest adequately in rehab we’re letting people down, leaving them at risk of greater dependence on care and support. We’re failing to deliver what should now be a core part of care".

Great read and food for thought on how we move forward.

People with #delirium are often distressed & can’t express their needs & fears.

When with a person with delirium:
Introduce yourself
Re-orientate (place, date, what is happening)
Ask about & evaluate causes of distress
Reassure
Involve family if possible

Well, there it is. Today, with the “wrong” (i.e. cold) symptoms and after a string of negative LFTs, I finally took Twitter advice and swabbed my throat as well as my nose (no mean feat with that diddly stick). If you think you might have COVID, consider adding the throat sample

‘This illness is absolutely crazy.’

28 year-old Darren ended up in critical care with COVID-19. He didn’t have the #NHSCOVIDVaccine as he thought he’d be fine.

[Ursula MacFarlane - @ukmacfarlane.bsky.social @UKMacFarlane]

These OT roles are to ensure that #D2A pathways in Barnsley are here to stay.

We look forward to continued collaboration between therapy teams @barnshospital and in @allofusinmind to continue to improve this pathway for our patients.
