Is it really 30 ++years being an Occupational Therapist!!! still love it 😊

[Coeliac_UK @Coeliac_UK]

Today we launch Coeliac Awareness Month – and we’re asking: is it coeliac disease?​
​
Coeliac disease is a serious autoimmune condition that affects 1 in 100 people in the UK – but only 36% are medically diagnosed. That leaves an estimated 500,000 people living undiagnosed, often with debilitating symptoms that can affect every part of life.​
​
This May, we’re sharing the real stories of people who’ve faced those challenges and found answers. Derek, Heather, Natalie, Amelie and Anita have all experienced coeliac disease in very different ways – and they each have a powerful connection to Coeliac UK’s work. Whether it's through providing food information, diagnosis, access to care or support or supporting our community via social media – they’re helping us fight for everyone with coeliac disease.​
​
Watch their stories, share your own, and help us reach the thousands still searching for answers.​
​
Throughout the month, we’ll be:​

- Encouraging people to take our free online self-assessment at https://t.co/KlCfA5pe2G​

- Raising vital awareness through events at the @balmoralshow , @FreeFromEvents, the @SeneddWales and across the UK​

- Sharing blogs from across our diverse gluten free community​

- Hosting a special online cookalong with our ambassador, @beckyexcell

- Launching our 64 Challenge to raise funds for those still undiagnosed​

​And much more – from media and press activity to partner support and advocacy work happening behind the scenes – all helping to make the biggest impact possible.​
​
Wrapped in Love: BFree support Coeliac Awareness Month 2025​
After raising £26,000 last year, BFree is back to support Coeliac Awareness Month this May. For every pack of their Soft White Wraps sold, 40p will be donated to Coeliac UK to help fund vital support and research.​
​
This month is about making change happen – by telling stories, starting conversations, and fighting for the 500,000 people who still don’t know what’s making them ill.​
​
How will you join in?​
Whether you're sharing your story, taking on a challenge, or helping someone take their first step toward a diagnosis – every action makes a difference.​

#OTWeek24 may be drawing to a close, but it’s just the start of our campaign! 💪🏿

Together, we can help influence change so that occupational therapy is included in the strategic planning and allocation of resources to manage health, education, housing and care needs in the UK.

[Royal College of Occupational Therapists @theRCOT]

We know that an occupation isn't just your job or daily activities – it's any meaningful activity that supports physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

@PeteOSullivanPT @TimMcVicarPT @MaryOKeeffe007 @kieranosull @jpcaneiro @WimDankaerts @kjartanfersum @rtholopainen @ChrisNewtonPT @gsingh1902 I read this with interest as occupational therapist working in pain management for many yrs-basically describing what I do … don’t forget to get more OTs in pain management… we’re dual trained in physical and mental health -best services for treating chronic pain are true MDTs

[NHS @NHSuk]

Almost two thirds of people don’t know that you can self-refer to NHS Talking Therapies online to access treatment for anxiety and depression.

You can refer yourself or talk to your GP: https://t.co/f06VsXM0gm

Having access to skilled practitioners and organisations helps improve outcomes. Dr Kieran Dinwoodie, gives his perspective on this approach which resulted in a halving of opioid and gabapentinoid medicines and reduced GP visits👉 https://t.co/dYJI0H0OZE @KieranDin
