Proud to share that a few months ago my dissertation research on ‘Priorities for returning to work after traumatic injury’ was published in the British Journal of Occupational Therapy. Thanks to all those who collaborated on this amazing project. https://t.co/Thrn6MyQKZ

It's been a great week celebrating our super star occupational therapists (OTs) for #OTWeek2023 💚

They help people overcome challenges completing everyday tasks or activities. OTs call these ‘occupations’.

We're proud of the inspiring work they do with patients. #WeAreUHS 🏥

Our winner of the Membership Award goes to our F4 Spinal Unit.

Congrats to the unit, including the nurses, HCAs and physios. Great work! 🌟🏆

Rehabilitation should not be seen as a luxury healthcare service.

Complex issues require specialist skills and adequate resources.

Rising levels of unmet rehab needs have knock-on consequences on health & social care systems.

Rehabilitation is an investment.

#Archive30 Occupational therapy uniforms are functional not fashionable. A student dress, worn in hospitals, from the 1970s: big pockets, detachable collar and cuffs, short and long sleeves, navy colour.

7 out of 10 children excluded from school have ADHD, autism or another form of neurodivergency.

It’s time to stop punishing them for ‘bad behaviour’, when in reality they are being failed by the education system time and time again.

The system discriminates against ND kids.

Doctors you're valued and respected. But @stjamesdublin the way some of your Doctor's have spoken to me is just not on. To be dismissive of my concerns when all I was looking for was reassurance. Your patients need your patience
