@musedNeuroOT I'll come say hi!

[Libby Sallnow @libby_sallnow]

My 8 yr old started a conversation with me recently:

8 yr old: Mummy, why is everything you write about, about death?

Me: Well I think it’s something that people are scared talking about

8 yr old: But that’s like being scared of sunset, there is nothing you can do about it…

@LT_customer1st Frustrating! Could you rejoin partway through the next ball of yarn at the right colour to avoid scuppering the colour sequence?

@ElizabethCasso1 @sharontuppenyot @CateBennett8 @catevans10 And happy birthday!

[Jess Blake Occupational Therapist 💚 @JessBlakeOT]

@ElizabethCasso1 @sharontuppenyot @CateBennett8 @catevans10 What's the best way to get in touch?? I have an idea :)

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

OTs help you to help yourself. It's not their job to 'train' you. They teach you how you can own your own body, how to listen to it, how to learn from it, how to work it so that it can work.

Told today that it is NHS policy not to tell colleagues if we test +ve for COVID, and are advised to come in and work as normal if well enough. We have been discouraged from testing at all. Don't staff and pts have a right to know and be protected? 😢

@EnableOT Is it to differentiate between the function - being able to feed yourself and the act of eating- manipulating food in your mouth/swallowing etc. Occupational therapy assess the former and Speech &Language therapy latter. I agree the word has negative connotations though.

@jstjohnmatthews @chaniedavies @BMJLeader @NHSLeader @HazelRoddam1 @OfficialCAHPR Potentially interested as a new reviewer :)

@RCOT_CYPF Just a heads up, the term “children with neurodiversity” doesn’t make sense. It would be better phrased “neurodivergent children”. Neurodiverse can only refer to a group, an individual is neurodivergent. +identity first language is generally preferred

@MelissaTaylorOT @PenelopeFirshma @Leanne_OT Are green trousers more expensive than black or blue?

1/Time is brain! So you don’t have time to struggle w/that stroke alert head CT.
Here’s a #tweetorial to help you with the CT findings in acute stroke.

@trishgreenhalgh Otherwise you end up with the label 'final FINAL no really FINAL this time'

[Rene Gray @renegray82]

Not surprising findings here. Very aware of the importance and value added by OT within an acute setting, working in an integrated physiotherapy and occupational therapy department @JPUHTherapies 💚💙

Thanks so much to @OT_UEA for having me present at their research symposium today. You made me feel very welcome and great to meet such a lovely bunch of soon-to-be OTs! Not long to go now :) @C_T_K_Chandler @UEA_Health
