#AHPsintoAction AHPs improve patient flow, enable rehab, decrease hospital deconditioning, prevent admission, keep people safe and well at home. We need therapy led services #ahp_acs #AHPs #occupationaltherapy #physio

A great job opportunity for an OT to join a growing OT service at Leeds Student Medical Practice PCN @LeedsStudentMed https://t.co/3bA3bzNk50 #primarycareOT #OccupationalTherapy

@Keirwales @theRCOT 🤣🤣

[Tracy Forster @TracyFor_OT]

Joined the #RCOTCasson lecture for the first time (while cooking tea) @Keirwales smashed it! Absolutely hit the nail on the head about menal health services and the need for change. I'm ashamed to say I've not joined this before, but now i will join again! Thanks @theRCOT

[Royal College of Occupational Therapists @theRCOT]

There's often too much focus on the problem being with the person. We need to acknowledge how the environment they're in can affect them. #RCOTCasson @KeirWales

[Tracy Forster @TracyFor_OT]

@queerarchlvst Yes! It can be done, I no longer dread Mondays! (I don't love Mondays, who does? But i no longer fall into a pit of despair on a sunday night)

Dear British Press,

There is nothing in Prince Harry’s autobiography as scandalous as the implosion of our NHS.

So please report on the things which are actually important

Thanks

Rob (a non spare a&e Dr)

[Rob Galloway @DrRobgalloway]

Tonight, I’ve come close to tears whilst apologising to patients for the standards of care we are able to provide.

In my 22 years of being an A&E Dr, I’ve never seen things so bad. It’s the same everywhere.

I just hope patients know fault lies with politicians not NHS staff.

[Tracy Forster @TracyFor_OT]

@theRCOT starting a new job in a PCN after 23 years in NHS secondary mental health. HUGE change but worth it!

No money for payrises but look at Tory front bench MP's claims expenses @Conservatives @BBCNews @itvnews @SkyNews

[Tracy Forster @TracyFor_OT]

@kate_spurway @theRCOT professional problem solvers!

[Margaret Spencer Fellow RCOT MA @margaretOT360]

🎉👏👏👏👏let’s get the message out there @theRCOT

[Tracy Forster @TracyFor_OT]

Another reason why we need therapy led services - reduce deconditioning = improving patients outcomes, improving patient flow

[Helen Blomfield (also on LinkedIn) @helenblomfield8]

Completely agree 👇👇👏 perfectly explains the value of Occupational Therapy, Physio and need for Therapy Directors to promote rehab. https://t.co/2tmmn9UpAb
