heart strings tugged at today - hectic friday afternoon on the ward temporarily paused for primary school kids to sing to patients in front of the christmas tree, who we helped sit out especially in their wheelchairs and even beds β€οΈ true christmas magic ππ@meh_charity
Sleep is fundamental to wellbeing, affecting health, sickness, life, death, mental function, productivity, and the wider economy. Insomnia, the commonest psychological disorder, affecting 40% of adults annually and 10% long-term, is poorly managed.

ITVβs Campaign for Mental Wellness just launched with a very special moment on @BGT.
We're proud to be supporting Britain Get Talking, which aims to improve the wellbeing of young people by encouraging families to spend quality time together.
such a simple but incredible idea by ITV of pausing & muting tv for everyone watching at home to have the opportunity to talk about mental health ππΌππΌ #BritainGetTalking https://t.co/2cZ0YRk6qt
first ward rotation as an OT complete β and topped off by a fab day by 2 long-term patients really progressing! care of the elderly ward beat all my expectations and i loved working with the elderly! orthopaedics here i come! πͺπΌ
lovely to see the role of OT at our front doors recognised! often people are surprised and wonder what our role is, but this stats talk for themselves!
Finally finished my course and ready to become a fully qualified OT and start to carve my career! Very surreal! Fab night celebrating at the therapy ball with everyone π
@C_T_K_Chandler @UEAOTSoc @UEA_Health @UEAstudents Nadine and me are clearly finding something very amusing, haha! π Lovely for you to come - was a fab night!
so many days when i get such a buzz off placement, all because of the amazing patients and stroke team ππΌββοΈ soo excited to continue with a job i love ππ
What an inspiring watch and what a way to promote OT! Loving my current placement on an acute stroke ward and this highlights everything we do! π https://t.co/TkwQBt6EpG
βWhy, when you have a mental disease, is it always considered an act of imagination? Why is it that every organ in your body can get sick and you get sympathy except the brain?β -Ruby Wax #WorldMentalHealthDay#NoHealthWithoutMentalHealth
"I think you can change the way beauty is, and you can show people your scars and I think it's really special to stand up for that."
Powerful message for all surgery patients from Princess Eugenie on #RoyalWedding day β be proud of your scars πππͺ
