Occupational Therapy is at my core and as I start my new venture into #PerinatalMentalHealth in a generic post, I’m excited to bring OT skills to the role, ensuring the value of meaningful occupation is promoted, and supports mum’s identity and recovery #chooseOT#OTweek2020
Thanks to @BBCNews for highlighting the life-saving work of MBUs, the importance of specialist inpatient treatment for mothers affected by perinatal mental illness, and the challenges mums and staff have faced during the pandemic.

Our two post-viral fatigue guides are designed for people admitted to hospital with #COVID19 and for people who recovered at home. Filled with practical advice for people to gradually and safely resume daily activities. Download from: https://t.co/RhrKbDNB0x #Rehabilitation
UPDATE: The statue of slave trader Robert Milligan has now been removed from West India Quay.
It’s a sad truth that much of our wealth was derived from the slave trade - but this does not have to be celebrated in our public spaces.

Emily provides personalised care booklets for #mentalhealth inpatients with dementia recovering from #COVID19 on unfamiliar wards. Staff used these to reduce Martha's distress following the move and engage her in meaningful activities. https://t.co/POvAs2LP7k #MHAW2020
@SophieMaynard8 The band 5 OTs rotated where I work- I've moved to Trauma and Orthopaedics and was supposed to be on an elective ward but obviously these have stopped, so the wards are medical/HFOP wards. Finding it good experience needing to adapt; hoping to get T&O experience at some point.

Occupational therapists/OTs, during uncertain times, let's use our skills and help everyone we can (friends/family/colleagues/neighbours/strangers) maintain some meaningful activities and occupational balance! #COVID2019#coronavirus#CoronavirusOutbreak#COVID2019#NHSThankYou
