Dominic Cummings just gave an entire nation another Masterclass in GASLIGHTING.

It's not his fault we failed to exercise 'JUDGMENT' like he did in #lockdown.

#CumGate is #whiteprivilege personified

Let. The. Shit. Storm. Begin.

@AndrewBatesOT I think this every weekend. No pressures to do anything or fill time. Perfecting the skill of just "being".

@JuliaScottRCOT Realised your hair is a different colour!

@JuliaScottRCOT are you an accidental tiktok star??

Our attire is different...this situation is very different...however as Occupational Therapists our focus remains the same: function and what matters to the patient every time!!! 💚 #OTonthefrontline #inthistogether #NHS #MDT @damionwilford1 🚑

@AP_Occupational I work as an OT for social care and feel this way every day. Any offer of free stuff for NHS I send them a message, like a proper crank, asking if they understand that health doesn't work without social care and ask if they will extend the offer to social care too.

Whilst working from home I used Skype to demonstrate a manual handling technique to a care provider using @AdamDex. There's no rest for us in the social care sector. #OccupationalTherapy #socialcare #StillWorking #StayHomeSaveLives #COVID19

@_rachelOT In exactly the same position. I started in September and am constantly thinking, thank god this didn't happen before Christmas when I didn't know anything!

@sajajohnson Our community occupational therapy team will be assisting the hospital to home team whenever they need us and are also creating a falls response team to support the fire service. Occupational therapists have such a breadth of transferrable skills.

Did you know that an OT is an asset in home design? This article unpacks the role of #OccupationalTherapy in 3 practice settings & how they can collaborate with professionals in the home building industry. #homemodifications #universaldesign https://t.co/Nqxc09Ktsr

As a nurse,and “Mum” to a special disabled young man, I appreciate how vulnerable this client group is and wanted to demonstrate how important it is at present to hand wash to prevent the spread of infection. He was so excited he wanted me to video it #yearofthenurse #tandgicft

@almu0610 Almu you honestly were an inspiration in my final year, you juggling your family and being so committed to the OT society not only as a committee member but as the President too. Miss you loads! <3

@BeckyPower5 Just pretend you're at university for the first time again. CHUG CHUG CHUG.

[#hellomynameisVictoria @HiMyNamesVic]

Took a step back to practice some self care. Pledges to myself include the usual "be social" etc but also to wear makeup ay weekends and bright scrunchies in work. Proud to be a part of green pants army but I feel I lose myself in it. #OccupationalTherapy #OccupationalIdentity

[#hellomynameisVictoria @HiMyNamesVic]

@almu0610 Have you replaced the yellow backpack with a green one yet? Forrest green was my favourite colour even before my degree.

[#hellomynameisVictoria @HiMyNamesVic]

@almu0610 FYI, still not been more social haha.

[#hellomynameisVictoria @HiMyNamesVic]

@almu0610 @AdamDex cooks because he gets home two and a half hours earlier than me. He took left overs into work the next day and someone said "she treats you well doesn't she?". Lol. Damn us millennials with our non-gendered norms.

Lidl is selling bath and toileting aids. I may soon be out of a job! In all seriousness if only this was on sale there all the time, clients could be saved several weeks on waiting lists. #OccupationalTherapy #SocialCareDoneRight

[#hellomynameisVictoria @HiMyNamesVic]

@BeckyPower5 I was merely the coordinator putting everyone's comments together. I was honestly smiling all the way through doing it.

[#hellomynameisVictoria @HiMyNamesVic]

@EmmaRobinsonOT Why wouldn't we be obsessed with a toilet that can flush six different ways???
