I’m an OTAP working in Secure Care and also an OT Apprentice. Love helping people reach their potential, gardening, baking and making. Views are my own 💚

Ah, two weeks holiday before I start placement. Year 2 on the occupational therapy apprenticeship has flown by!

And great to participate in this Magic Machines workshop with the wacky glasses!

@otsamantha #WFOT challenges students @OTNorthumbria to step back and listen to communities, to consider the locus of control and work with communities around what is meaningful to them #communitybasedrehabilitation; #occupationaljustice

Very insightful, helpful & true words regarding leadership from @OdethRichardson

@NorthumbriaUni @OTNorthumbria @OTNorthumbriaSU @theRCOT @thewfot

[Samantha Shann @otsamantha]

‘Asking who is a leader anyway?’ asks @OdethRichardson as she opens @OTNorthumbria student conference @OTNorthumbriaSU @theRCOT @thewfot

Leadership provides inspiration & direction, everyone as an #OccupationalTherapist as a role as a leader

An amazing afternoon with colleagues from the States learning about Occupational Therapy provision. A great opportunity for all of our OT Apprentice cohort to share our knowledge and experiences @julieannelowe1 @OTNorthumbria

I had a well overdue day to myself on Sunday so had a lazy morning followed by a trip to Wallington Hall to see the crocuses in bloom

Love this reflection format!

[Louise @Notjustacleaner]

@farrah_money Wow, I love this reflection format! So much more appealing to me than a written one

[Louise @Notjustacleaner]

Been a tough couple of days as an OT Apprentice. Feeling like you should know everything but in reality every day is a school day. On a positive, wrote my first CPA report (which was far from perfect) and delivered feedback on my patient.

Could not agree more

@AnitaAtt Well done! A great piece of research and has definitely made me think. I hope this triggers more research in secure settings related to learning disabilities and obesity.

Blog: Are 'treats' a helpful reward, or to be approached with care?

New #fuseblog by @AnitaAtt exploring ‘treat culture’; the psychological impact of using high fat, sugar & salt foods to reward; and giving treats to patients in secure hospital settings.

Just been reading February's OT news and there's some really interesting articles. From OT's using AMPS ax in prisons to prescribing period pants, the next generation OT's and occupational formulation.

@julieannelowe1 @NorthumbriaUni @OTNorthumbria Day 2 of consolidation week went well too! Plenty of discussions today

[Louise @Notjustacleaner]

Fun day at @NorthumbriaUni being creative and using activity analysis @OTNorthumbria @julieannelowe1
