3 weeks into my final 8 week placement as a student OT and I can wholeheartedly say I’ve absolutely found the area which I want to work in once I’ve qualified this summer 💚🥹 #occupationaltherapy #studentOT

Went to the YSP yesterday with Norman. I fell in love this sculpture because it’s how I feel 90% of the time when I have a hot water bottle glued to me due to an endo flare up! Still getting my head around my new diagnosis but it’s so good to be back out walking with my boy 🧡

Saw a patient in clinic - had waited >12 months

Had a scan which showed an endometrioma at the time of referral.

Was still told by many healthcare professionals it was all in her head.

She has had to wait to see me to be told she has endometriosis and cried with relief.

We need to do better!

Proud big sister moment today seeing my sister graduate as a mental health nurse! We should have both been graduating as nurses today but instead (fingers crossed) I’ll be graduating as an OT this time next year 🫶🏽 #HudGrad #ProudBigSister

Finished my 6 week placement with the adult adhd and autism team today and officially half way through the degree! Such an amazing and interesting placement, but I’m so ready for a break now 🎄🥳 #studentOT

Feeding back in the MDT meeting today was nowhere near as bad as I’d imagined! Super chuffed with myself 🥳

[Abby Burke @abbyb_OT]

Feeding back a case in MDT for the first time today and I’m a big bag of nerves 😣

Matt Hancock isn’t a ‘celebrity’, he’s the former health secretary who oversaw the UK having one of the highest death tolls in the world from Covid-19 whilst breaking his own lockdown rules.

When we're at our most unwell and vulnerable, we need caring and compassionate treatment in a safe environment. As a bare minimum, we should be able to expect basic humanity and respect. (1/6)
