After all the heartbreak, to still possess such unbelievable resilience and undeniable character, to stand up and be counted one more time, to never lose hope, to keep dreaming and today, to make our dreams come true. What an achievement, what a club 💚💛

@CUH_OT_Dept @GayleCorry @AOTInews @CUH_Cork @cuh_hscp What a crew 😁

Sport, teamwork, enabling older persons. What's not to love. Free webinar tomorrow for those who may be interested.

[Shane Kingston @ShaneKingstonOT]

@deirdrelanglang Amen!

[Shane Kingston @ShaneKingstonOT]

@deirdrelanglang Very informative so far. Taking notes on how to better integrate screening, assessment and intervention into my new role in Primary Care.

A day for learning. #frailty #ICPOP

@Eibhlin_D @CUH_Cork Thanks Eileen! Sad times. Will miss the elaborate gang sign Hellos more than anything 😂

[Shane Kingston @ShaneKingstonOT]

Very sad to say goodbye to @CUH_Cork after an incredible year. Countless people to thank for making it such a positive experience. I now begin my next journey as Community OT in Carrigaline PCC. Excited to see what the future holds.

[Shane Kingston @ShaneKingstonOT]

@HorganAileen @CUH_Cork Thanks a million Aileen! Likewise! I will really miss working together! Be sure to stay in touch!

[Shane Kingston @ShaneKingstonOT]

@ahernemer @CUH_Cork And what a team it is. Thanks a million Emer. Hopefully we will cross paths again in the future!

[Shane Kingston @ShaneKingstonOT]

@danielnuzum @CUH_Cork Thanks a million Daniel and thank you for being so welcoming.

@Miriamotua @CUH_Cork The emojis sum it up 😂 thanks Miriam

[Shane Kingston @ShaneKingstonOT]

Looking forward to today's virtual conference with @SpinalIreland. Day 2 is very applicable to OT practice. Discussions around appropriate wheelchair and seating, travel and recreation and making a house an accessible home.

[Shane Kingston @ShaneKingstonOT]

I get this 😂😂😂

[Shane Kingston @ShaneKingstonOT]

This person was thankfully ok and will no doubt be up, dressed and moving again tomorrow. Perhaps a little more wary but will build confidence and increased independence with time. Far more so than if she was told to stay in the bed/chair.

[Shane Kingston @ShaneKingstonOT]

We had our first fall today in the #gugdgm2021 challenge. My thoughts. Falls will happen. We cannot wrap older adults up in cotton wool and force dependency upon them. We must encourage suitable independence in daily activities and mobility. No risk = no gains.

@drclareoconnor @Murray_Connolly @CUH_Cork And I now realise Twitter does not have edits. Oh dear. Any time is a good time 😂

[Shane Kingston @ShaneKingstonOT]

Day 1 of the Get up, get dressed, get moving 60 day challenge on the 2 trauma wards in @CUH_Cork let's see how many people we can get up and dressed by 12am each day! Helping to prevent deconditioning during hospital admissions. #gugdgm2021
