@OT_rach For women with #uterinefibroids periods can be debilitating. Heavy bleeding, pain, missed work/study, irregular periods, lack of access to adequate toilet facilities etc. Such conditions are often brushed over by medics so not surprising theirs a lack of input from AHPs. #OTalk

@EmmaLairdOT Learning specific coaching approaches would be advantageous and would help with developing confidence in explicitly delivering coaching as intervention #OTalk

[Shan @Shan_OT]

@EmmaLairdOT I think if we were to peel back the layers we would find that much of our work is underpinned by coaching techniques anyway #OTalk

[Shan @Shan_OT]

@dmay_ot @OT_Hammo @OTalk_ Lol most definitely. It’s all good learning though. V interesting #OTalk

[Shan @Shan_OT]

@EmmaLairdOT #Otalk I’m not currently working in an OT specific role but I do work in a young peoples setting. We use coaching daily to encourage students to understand their strengths and navigate their difficulties whilst finding their sense of purpose at the same time.

After putting in so much effort with lifestyle changes I felt slightly despondent to find out that the fibroids we’re still the same size. But...yes the fibroids have not shrunk but they have not grown either so Im gonna keep on at it! https://t.co/TfU5I93DAY

Did you know inadequate recording keeping is the most frequent reason that occupational therapists are reported to the HCPC? Join us for this study day, and make sure your record keeping skills – digital or paper – are fit for practice. https://t.co/a4wKZTRmb2

@emilyOTstudent @feministOT @OT_rach @clue I’ve not heard of this app. Will definitely look it up. Thanks for sharing!

[Shan @Shan_OT]

@OT_rach Again important to work holistically when addressing lifestyle changes and coping strategies to avoid focusing solely on the physical #OTalk

[Shan @Shan_OT]

@OT_rach I think coping strategies is definitely an important one. But again it depends on what level of insight clients already have, so diary keeping, symptom monitoring over the cycle, lifestyle changes, signposting etc may need to be included.

Lovely case study/ reflective piece on working with stroke patients with hemianopia. This piece also highlights the limitations of working with patients due to departmental restrictions https://t.co/jrB2G4UFN2

Just caught up with tonight’s #OTalk. Thank you to @NeuroOT_Ruth for tonight’s discussion. As a newly qualified OT coming from a neuropsych research background it was good to learn about how OTs monitor PTA progression and the ax’s used. Thanks also for the article link👍🏾

[Ruth Ndlovu @NeuroOT_Ruth]

Here’s a paper I recently read on two different approaches for TBI pts #otalk

'Reductions to the #PublicHealthGrant announced today will heap more pressure on local authorities that are already struggling following significant budget cuts carried out over a decade of austerity.'

The sign of a great teacher is to 'Feedforward' not 'Feedback'
