Today a long term patient was discharged (posting with pt’s permission). We have worked so hard as an MDT for this person’s recovery. A compassionate approach from all involved, led by the patient. An inspiring example of MDT working ❤️ @TwoRedwood @MaplesDept @NottsHealthcare

So good seeing a stall in Highbury reception again! Especially when it’s to do with OT!

[Maples Therapy @MaplesDept]

Meaningful engagement is such an important part of OT, to build rapport and to get a real sense of a person, what matters & is important to them. Finding out what gets people motivated, excited, what they find joy in is just one amazing part of a fab career! #ChooseOT

[Beth OT @beth_wardle86]

#OTweek2020! Watched the sunset &talked about the sky with a patient which led onto a really animated chat about stars&planets🪐I love people& seeing their excitement. One of the reasons I #ChooseOT. What a magical way to finish work! @NottsHealthcare @AHPsNottsHC @TwoRedwood
