Currently a Third Year Occupational Therapy Student. Looking to connect with OTs and other OT students to gather a variety of connections and knowledge!

First week back at Uni and straight into the dissertation. Tips on how to get through it would be appreciated. Third and final year - it has flown by!

Getting stuck into my research proposal and focussing on Occupational Therapy Interventions with men who have eating disorders. I would love to speak to any OTs who have experience in this area 💚 #researchproposal #dissertation #eatingdisorders #occupatonaltherapy

The OT research proposal has officially been set to prepare for the dissertation in 3rd year!

If anyone has any good tips, I would appreciate it 💚. It is definitely the toughest one to date. How did you all prepare? #occupationaltherapy #researchproposal #dissertation

I am looking to chat to OTs who work or have previously worked with people who have dementia. I’ll be running a group at Uni and would love to discuss group therapy for those who have experience! #occupationaltherapy #otstudent #dementia #grouoptherapy

Are there any OTs that have used knitting or arm knitting as a therapeutic intervention? If you are open to a quick chat, I’d be keen to speak to you🧶. Also any research articles relating to this would also be a great help! Thank you #ot #otstudent #knitting #otinterventions

Uni taught us how to make a splint for each other last week. Great fun, but a lot of practice needed that’s for sure!

[Laura Richardson @Paediatric_OT]

Second week of Uni complete and back with a bump! Two essays, two presentations and volunteering to complete. This is going to be a tough one 🤣

[Laura Richardson @Paediatric_OT]

@Rebecca_OT__ @IsabellaMay_OT I am a planner too 😂. I will most definitely apply early. I wasn’t sure employers would wait that long, but reassuring to know that they will. Thanks so much for letting me know 😊

[Laura Richardson @Paediatric_OT]

@IsabellaMay_OT @Rebecca_OT__ That’s amazing! Congratulations 🎉. Can I ask when you started to apply for jobs? I’ll be in this position next year and have mixed reviews on when to apply for band 5 vacancies

Second OT placement complete! Been working in the community with adults who have Physical Disabilities. Such an amazing experience with an outstanding educator. Gained so much and I’ll be sad to leave. Back to uni for the next few months but not before enjoying the festivities 🎄

[Laura Richardson @Paediatric_OT]

Off to the OT show today! Anyone else going? Also…those that went yesterday, any recommendations/tips?

[Laura Richardson @Paediatric_OT]

@TheOTShow I registered for a student ticket a few weeks ago and I’ve still not heard if I can attend. I’m currently on placement and my team are attending. Can you advise when students will be told if they have tickets are not so we can arrange travel arrangements etc. Thanks 😊
