AHP day 2. Fabulous day, hosted by WAB, celebrating all things AHP. Huge team effort with some brilliant feedback. Could not be prouder to work with such amazing people @agnideepak@cassie_eastham@AmdramOT @jeanettewarbur3 @BernieHesford@NatMol722769
What a great day celebrating #AHPsDay2024 at Atherleigh Park. Inspiring to see and hear the amazing things AHP professionals are doing, as well as facilitating a Cognitive Stimulation Therapy workshop. Huge shout out to @jennyowenOT for coordinating from the Wigan end! π
It was lovely to be invited along to a 'pop up' at Atherleigh Park Hospital this afternoon - speaking to carers and professionals about the support and services we can provide. We are pleased to say that this will now also take place monthly!

This year's theme was 'Movement', and as you can see from the below video - there was plenty of that! π

Itβs Dementia Action Week next week (16-22 May)!
Why not show your support by attending a Dementia Friends Session during the week? You'll learn about what it's like to live with dementia and how to turn that understanding into action: https://t.co/ejHB9UP1BA
Our OT students led a smoothie tasting session for patients and staff for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2022
We bought people together for a group singing activity to combat the effects of loneliness and celebrate social engagement. #YoullNeverWalkAlone@GMMH_NHS
Some valuable #WednesdayWisdom for today: No two people will experience dementia in the same way. Every person with dementia is unique, and will require different levels of care, support and communication.
No one should be defined by their condition.
Inspiring day today hearing all the amazing work going on within our Trust and getting the opportunity to present our hard work on Golborne ward @AtherleighP#HealthyWardShowcase@GMMH_NHS
Thank you to @GMMH_NHS for providing our hospital with a full day BBQ today for all of our patients and staff to enjoy!! It was a real morale boost and it was really lovely to see staff and service users coming together over some yummy food and enjoying the summer sun! βοΈβοΈ
