@OliviaWakerley @HelenBrown09 @theRCOT Hi Olivia, Helen mentioned about your research to me, are you still looking for participants?

[Julia Stretton @JuliaStrettonOT]

I’m just an OT, standing in a store cupboard, on a ward I don’t know, asking for a pair of non-slips socks that aren’t size S or XXL.

@vincent74504543 @sunshineboy567 You really need to stop cherry picking from a couple of dances that people did at the start of the pandemic to try and build a sense of morale at time of great unknown. Get out of your echo chamber.

@OTRhiannon Your cat looks similar to mine! Also has the same level of worries too

[Julia Stretton @JuliaStrettonOT]

We brought our rescue cat Ronnie home on Thursday. Safe to say he’s settled in 🥰

Submitting an essay to TurnItIn is like going through airport security. I know I haven’t plagiarised just as I know I don’t have cocaine in my bag but I still feel like I’m going to get in trouble for something I haven’t done.

@RachelRaveyMcL Dressing gown, cob, jitty or entry depending where it leads, crust.

@SimonHutchins2 Thank you for your kind words and support Simon and also for sharing your personal experience, I’m so glad you recovered and had such good care too.

Healthcare workers may well be doing their job, doing what they’re ‘paid for’ but that doesn’t mean that this is an ordinary time and it doesn’t mean that this whole thing isn’t taking a physical and mental toll. 1/

@alli2ells @ChloeHagueOT Thank you Allison and yes it’s brought different challenges to all nhs settings I’m sure. Take care of yourself and stay safe 💚

[Julia Stretton @JuliaStrettonOT]

@hdlcroix Thank you Heather, I am often in awe of my amazing colleagues around me and feel very proud to work amongst them

[Julia Stretton @JuliaStrettonOT]

@RmnMark Thank you, it’s true we need to look after ourselves as well as each other 💚

[Julia Stretton @JuliaStrettonOT]

@alexcresswell94 Thanks Alex, so true, the weeks don’t really seem to end right now do they? But I know you’ll be doing an amazing job, hope you’re getting on well 💚

[Julia Stretton @JuliaStrettonOT]

@HannahBartOT Thanks Hannah, I just had to get it all out of my head. I’m proud of our role and I know you’ll be doing amazingly 💚

[Julia Stretton @JuliaStrettonOT]

Healthcare workers may well be ‘just’ doing their jobs, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t hard and it certainly doesn’t justify disrespect or denial. Long gone are the rainbows and claps, but healthcare and key workers are still here day in, day out. Just do your bit, please.

No one wants to be here, living through this. But when you share false information, when you lie to yourself, when you don’t listen and don’t follow public health guidelines, you are risking and undermining lives.
