Delighted to say that I now have an MSc with distinction in Occupational Therapy 🎉 there were definitely points this year when I didn’t think I was ever going to manage to complete it but I can now start my maternity leave feeling proud and relieved! 🎓 @QMU_OT

'Rehabilitation is often secondary prevention.'

A point well made by @WesStreeting. 👆

Improved access to rehabilitation would support more stroke survivors to recover well, reduce their risk of another stroke, prevent hospital readmission, and reduce future demand on the NHS.

Edinburgh Community OTs! Does anyone know how best to support someone to get weighed in Edinburgh when they require a hoist for transfers and are a powered wheelchair user? GP surgery has chair scales but no hoist.

Health professionals: Be aware that multiple professionals may be asking for the carer’s help with different tasks and these stack up. Don’t assume what the carer will be able do. #RCOT2024 #SupportingCarersinEastLothian #CarersWeek #ELHSCP #PuttingCarersontheMap #CarersWeek2024

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

When does electioneering become a threat to public health?

Depression and anxiety make an easy target for Stride because he is playing off existing prejudices that sufferers face.

It is damaging.
