Received a compliment today a SU had sent in to @HPFT_NHS about the impact of my work. So proud to have the value of #Occupionaltherapy recognised and thankful to my trust for sharing and acknowledging this. Made my year #greattogether @SallyJudges #livingnotjustexisting

Would help if I could spell Occupational Therapy!

Careers talk given to approx 30 secondary school kids as part of #inspiringthefuture campaign. Promoting the greatness that is #occupationaltherapy and our wonderful #nhs as a career path. Hopefully at least a few future clinicians in there
