'If another non-disabled person tells me 2012 changed the world for disabled people I will literally scream'

Former Paralympic champion Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson spoke to #BBCBreakfast after she had to crawl off an LNER train at London King's Cross - when there was no-one to help her

We had an excellent afternoon on Tuesday, 18/6, with our lovely MSc Year 2 students! Just another few months to complete their course and to make their unique contribution to the OT world!

We went on a fab team building afternoon a few weeks ago. A bit of ceramic painting, which was so relaxing. We got our finished products back today. Here’s my before and after!

We’ve been updating our OT noticeboard. Hopefully providing seasonal ideas for activities for staff and students. Most recent addition is some OT tunic and trouser bunting made out of a pair of my old work trousers by my very talented retired OT mum @UCLan #OTLecturers #Wellbeing

Reflecting on yesterday’s #RCOT2024. I’d lost my enthusiasm and motivation for research but the research geek in me is feeling inspired and motivated. So much to consider in relation education - unconscious bias in case study design and AI to name just a few.

What a fantastic two days of #RCOT2024 💚 Thank you to everyone who made it happen, and thanks especially to you, the OTs making a difference every day.

Social prescribing is gaining traction in primary care and traditional medical models.

Gemma Bradley's (@OTNorthumbria) study found that OTs have varying levels of involvement but a positive outlook on the future alongside social prescribing colleagues. #RCOT2024

'This is blowing my mind! 🤯' - how we all feel after Professor Michael Rowe's eye-opening plenary on using Generative AI.

A tool that can be powerful but only in collaboration with us (humans!) - don't ask AI to do the work for you, ask it to help you do better work. #RCOT2024

[Suzanne Simpson @SimpsonResearch]

Great presentation from Dr Gemma Bradley @NorthumbriaUni sharing findings from a qualitative research study exploring occupational therapists involvement in social prescribing #RCOT2024

[Dr Ana Borges da Costa @analubc1]

Very well done to Letisha Foster, MSc (pre-reg) Occupational Therapy final year learner, at the University of Central Lancashire, talking about her final year research project!!!

'You really are there to help people live their best lives.' 💚

Why should occupational therapists get into public health roles? William Roberts, CEO at @R_S_P_H has been sharing why in our opening Plenary. #RCOT2024

[Suzanne Simpson @SimpsonResearch]

Fantastic presentation on the use of simulation in education thank you @SwanseaUni OT team! #RCOT2024

[Suzanne Simpson @SimpsonResearch]

@theRCOT @R_S_P_H Excellent session, thank you!

[Suzanne Simpson @SimpsonResearch]

Excellent plenary this morning talking about the role of OT in public health @R_S_P_H. I loved my role as MECC lead and it played to my strengths as an OT #RCOT2024 #ValueofOT

[Suzanne Simpson @SimpsonResearch]

@ClarissaGiebel @LivUni @LivUniEngageHLS Amazing!!! Good luck!! 🤞

[Suzanne Simpson @SimpsonResearch]

Excellent morning of talks so much to reflect on! Helen Langford & Paul Hartwell @cardiffuni certainly made me think about unconscious bias in education and the development of case studies for teaching and learning #RCOT2024

[Suzanne Simpson @SimpsonResearch]
