Our attire is different...this situation is very different...however as Occupational Therapists our focus remains the same: function and what matters to the patient every time!!! 💚 #OTonthefrontline #inthistogether #NHS #MDT @damionwilford1 🚑

@SarahLewisOT I think we say this most days?

[Sarah Lewis @SarahLewisOT]

@Jennifer1OT Absolutely!!

[Sarah Lewis @SarahLewisOT]

Agree with this. I think the role of OT in acute care seems better understood due to our contribution on the front line in the pandemic, but more education needed to move away from the dated view that it is a “bread and butter” role #positiverisktaking #D2RA #homefirst #frailty

Successful first attempt at delivering a presentation online about the application of change theory in the workplace. Feeling inspired by some brilliant leaders I have worked with over the past year in particular and look forward to putting my learning into practice #leadership

Acute med is the best.
Where else can you see AKI, new jaundice, bradycardias and COPD all in one morning?

[ULHT_OT @ULHT_OT]

OT in the acute hospital, at Christmas, during a global pandemic, beautifully explained 💚💚

[Lucy Pollock @lucypgeridoc]

Why is coming back into hospital a ‘re-admission’ in a young person and a ‘failed discharge’ in someone older? A new seizure, fever or even a fall in someone who was stable prior to discharge may not be a failure of care. Bad words lead to bad feelings 😟

@Lindseymacinty3 Is just on the way into YGC from bodelwyddan direction x

[Sarah Lewis @SarahLewisOT]

Today we started our shift rota, providing 12 hours a day 7 days a week cover for the benefit of our patients. This is alongside our Physio colleagues. Successful first shift complete and was lovely to pass this on my drive home! #NHS #InThisTogether 🌈

[Sarah Lewis @SarahLewisOT]

Proud of our team!!😁 #YGCOT

[LaurenMercerOT @mercer_OT]

Our acute #occupationaltherapy team at YGC spoke to the BBC earlier this week... great to be able to share positive ways in which we can help patients with Covid-19 to recover and return home 💚🏡 @BCUHBBest @DrEmmaHosking @ellenmary19 https://t.co/SsQVbohqRg

[Sarah Lewis @SarahLewisOT]

Two covid +ve patients discharged home today to continue their recovery. Positive start to the week😊🚑 #InThisTogether

[Amy MacKinnon @amymackinnon_]

Nailing The OT & PT integration. Working together to reposition patients/ early mobilisation, providing chest physio, trying to prevent/ reduce COVID-19 related delirium and proning, all the while trying to safely discharge as many MFFD patients as possible

[Sarah Lewis @SarahLewisOT]

Thank you to our brilliant 2nd year OT students for your work to run a Pancake making/activity group, for patients from the wards today. Was enjoyed by all and provided participation in meaningful occupation, contributing to Home First @GlyndwrOT 🥞🏥

[Sarah Lewis @SarahLewisOT]

Absolutely!! Often a huge misconception of OT’s in the acute setting #valueofOT

[JenniferJD1 @Jennifer1OT]

Love this...I don’t do “quick checks” so we can tick a box on a dischage checklist. Our role is so much more than that....even in acute care 😉
