When your patient tells you that you made them feel like a person again … that’s what #OccupationalTherapy is all about. It’s not expensive, it’s not rocket science, and it’s not difficult. Today was a good day.
Did you know that increasing the return rate of #walkingaids over the next 3yrs could reduce #NHS#carbonemissions by 7,400 tonnes, which = 281,397 car trips from London to Bristol!

"Hospital readmissions are associated with poor patient outcomes and higher costs"
"Occupational therapy has a statistically significant association with lower readmission rates for medical conditions"
OTs need rehab spaces to assess ADLs and provide therapy ....just sayin'
Exciting opportunity to join our Band 5 OT rotation in the Horsham/Crawley and mid Sussex area. 4 rotation opportunities including community rehab, neuro community and neuro inpatient rehab. Focus on development with great clinical Leads in post.

Exciting goody bag from @Pulvertafthands for my Hand Therapy course - looking forward to learning lots about hand anatomy, splinting etc. Toddler also keen to get involved, of course 🤣
@RCOT_OP I see a large part of our role to be educating the relatives and carers of our patients. Often they are overwhelmed, exhausted, hurt, lonely, worried. A listening ear is invaluable.
@RCOT_OP Attended the Dementia forum yesterday evening discussing Cognitive Rehabilitation, and currently working on starting #reminiscence groups on our rehab ward 🧠
Incredibly poignant cartoon by @mortenmorland in today’s Times.
If you know someone who lives alone, perhaps bereaved, for whom today may hit especially hard, perhaps give them a ring later on 🖤
@suzyjwilkinson Still feeling kinda 'NQ' and I'm 3 years in! Always learning of course, but there will be so much you do with more confidence now than 12 months ago!
@RoyalPapworth@theRCOT This definitely sounds like something we need to hear more about! What is it? How does it work? Will you help me discharge my patients?! 😁
