Call for help! Does anyone working in LD have a dementia memory clinic service that's using an alternative functional OT assessment to the AMPS now that the software & training are no longer available? Please RT. @RCOT_PLD @theRCOT

Former #OccupationalTherapist @MathesonMichael has been appointed Scottish Cabinet Secretary for NHS recovery, Health and Social Care.

We hope having a former OT in this important role means positive progress for OTs in Scotland. We are writing to Michael with our priorities.

The OTs working in the Learning Disability service hosted a stand at Fife College in Dunfermline today and the team had some great conversations with lots of college staff and students who were all really very keen to learn about the OT 'Life Hacks'.

In today’s society how is it acceptable that one life is worth more that another depending on a disability? ⁦

I’m always inspired but never surprised that people with Learning Disabilities continue to challenge inequalities and injustice. #equality #ActForEqual

So this week I swapped the 9-5 life for a bit of relaxation and recuperation! Im definitely experiencing the benefits of increased self care and social time! #OTinpractice #selfcare #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #cheers
