Providing good, local opportunities for play should be considered a public health issue. This is the upstream work of reducing demand on public services such as NHS. https://t.co/RvJncZXkbj

Great to catch up on this excellent training. Thought provoking and Rachael Thompson's personal experiences added so much. Plan to reflect, discuss and think more creatively about we endeavour to understand and work with everyone's unique inner experiences #CPD #Interoception

@altdotder @credland_nicki @PharmacistExpat Speaking as an occupational therapist not true at all. Issues highlighted for nursing also apply to AHPs as far as I can see.

@TFMathisen @LondonEDConf @TetNes @NTNU Definitely one of the stand out seasons from #LEDC2023 for me. I've taken away a lot to think about.

[Mary-Jane Sweeting @MaryJane_OT]

@LondonEDConf Thank you for putting on such a great conference, I've left with lots to think about.

[Mary-Jane Sweeting @MaryJane_OT]

Excited to be sharing my MSc research at @LondonEDConf tomorrow. Great to be part of such an exciting and varied programme #LEDC2023 #OTsInResearch #EatingDisorders @GlosHealthNHS @UWE_AHP

[Mary-Jane Sweeting @MaryJane_OT]

Really resonating to hear @CheriLev discussing overlap between eating disorders and OCD, and thinking about common treatment approach #LEDC2023

[Mary-Jane Sweeting @MaryJane_OT]

Such an interesting start to #LEDC2023 from @DrTiffWattSmith - turns out the question of what is an emotion is more complex than you might think!

[Mary-Jane Sweeting @MaryJane_OT]

Excited to arrived in London ready for #LEDC2023

@Vascular_Glos @_A_Clarke @gloshospitals @Gloshosptherapy Loved working with @_A_Clarke when I was on vascular, learnt so much plus lots of laughs! What exciting adventure are you off to next?

[Mary-Jane Sweeting @MaryJane_OT]

@hannah_sercombe I have referred people to this service before, and they were excellent https://t.co/1YVvTHhz0C

@Murphlemurph @TheOTShow @RebeccaTwinley @HoppyPelican @Keirwales @fisheraddiction the one we missed!

[Mary-Jane Sweeting @MaryJane_OT]

@fisheraddiction @MaggieFelton99 @doingtherapy I love helping people explore their values, a really good underpinning to thinking about identity and how people might want to spend their time. Haven't seen this resource before, looks great. Thanks for sharing, will be ordering myself a deck.

@melissa_chieza @LaughingOT @OT_Expert @EstherDark3 @StudentOTs @Keirwales @BAMEOTUK @OTforOH @RCOT_MH @RCOTEastern Hi Melissa, I've been working in community ED service for just over a year, currently within the day treatment service. Happy to connect :)

[Mary-Jane Sweeting @MaryJane_OT]

@JulieZorzi3 @LaughingOT Absolutely agree - @theRCOT have really missed the mark with this by underselling our profession as a collection of tricks, rather than complex assessment and personalised interventions.

[Mary-Jane Sweeting @MaryJane_OT]

Can only assume the government has a different dictionary than me if they think their approach to people coming to this country is 'compassionate and welcoming' - shameful.

[Mary-Jane Sweeting @MaryJane_OT]

@KosiwaOT @theRCOT @RCOT_Gen What an exciting role - congratulations! Great to see OT potential being recognised in this space

[Mary-Jane Sweeting @MaryJane_OT]

@Tigercatgirl @theRCOT I acknowledge could be some 'Top tips from an OT' that could be useful, however it will be missing showcasing most of the amazing work we do across so many settings. Why employ an OT when you could manualise some hacks that any HCP could deliver?

[Mary-Jane Sweeting @MaryJane_OT]

@Tigercatgirl @theRCOT Similar feelings here. Promoting our profession's complex and person-centred interventions as life hacks seems reductionist and a missed opportunity. I feel disappointed this is best our professional body can come up with - maybe I'm missing something?
