Congratulations to my esteemed colleague โฆ@BSpurlOT_Acute_โฉ ๐๐ผ
Just got his promotion to Senior OT within Acute Services. Enjoy your new responsibility and success! Throwback photo to PMA training in the good old days, see you soon! ๐ค ๐ฅ
Can we all agree on something?
If you're a politician getting paid over ยฃ84,000 plus expenses, for mainly office work...
You don't get to tell nurses on less than ยฃ30,000 that they're being paid enough for 12-hour shifts keeping people alive.

@KateBurkeNHS @HEWilliamsBooks@alisonleary1 I would argue that therapy / other AHPโs are โjust asโ (if not more transferable) than nursing to management/other non clinical roles.. Nurses are integral and MASSIVELY important but are sometimes very dismissive of the skillset of other professionals.
@KateBurkeNHS @alisonleary1 I think it is very dependent on the trust, I know of MANY nurses that go from band 5-6 after one year practice.
In other trusts I know that AHPโs have similar experiences.. i do not know about โautomaticโ progression though, always gone through appraisal/dev plan etc..
@annduckworth @Keirwales@HannahtheOT@LaughingOT @HollytheOT @MOHOspark I have not had this comment but I know it is really common amongst female OTโs, especially on wards!
I can see a clear link between the pragmatic, nurturing and caring nature of both mothers and OTโs.
Shame I am a 24 year old male ๐คฃ

@Alex_The_OT Absolutely welcome! It is nice to see your progression, adult acute is a really interesting area! & Yes thanks, the transition to community has been great thus far, currently on intensive DBT training for PD pathway.
@JennieRed14 In my interview there were few key things, the escalation process, handling duty calls, types of interventions, patient demographic and expected conditions - best of luck hope you get it ๐ค๐ผ๐๐ผ
