🌟 Rounding off OT week with a little something about me that really was a #SmallChangeBigImpact 💚 just one example of the wonderful things we do as OTs #ChooseOT #OccupationalTherapy @theRCOT 🌟

How to help a patient whose hand function has been impaired through glioblastoma to play guitar again? Make a mock guitar neck from craft supplies so he can 'air guitar' to aid his recovery! Well done occupational therapist Alex Mayhew (left) and rock on, John! 🎸 #rehabilitation

@AlexandratheOT 1. Always ask questions! 2. Keep a little notepad full of abbreviations and any contacts (contacts always come in handy). 3. Keeping notes about the conditions you see will help in your understanding and in other placements. Hope you enjoy it. Medicine is such a diverse area!

My lovely colleague, Sally 💚 stay at home and stay safe!

Occupational Therapist Sally Ford talks hospital Covid numbers and what you can do to protect yourself and each other from the virus

@MattHancock @DHSCgovuk Many FIRST doses have been given but the fact remains that a SECOND booster within 21 days is required to achieve the 95% effectiveness. The public are being misled as we are being told the first jab = 90% effectiveness after 12 days. Where is the evidence for this!?

@RCOTNYRegion @jenni_guest1 Loved being able to do an online session, it was really useful 💚 thank you!

I sent out this tweet at the start of the pandemic, on the first 'clap for carers'. I remain proud to be an OT in the NHS . But I do hope the government will begin to show their appreciation for ALL key workers #payrise #NHS #OccupationalTherapy

We’ve sent a letter to Matt Hancock about lack of PPE for AHPs on the frontline and in social care, along with @theCSP @ParamedicsUK @SCoRMembers @RCSLT and 7 other @AHPbodies. The safety and wellbeing of AHPs needs to be a top priority https://t.co/konjwL7hA9

It's needless to say I am disappointed that someone thought it was necessary to write, let alone publish, this news article 🙄 embrace your body, love yourself and be proud of what you can do ❤ #BodyPositive #Inclusive #Nike

Tanya Gold: 'The new mannequin is obese, and she is not readying herself for a run in her shiny Nike gear. She cannot run. She is, more likely, pre-diabetic and on her way to a hip replacement. What terrible cynicism is this on the part of #Nike?' https://t.co/51VmvUCxLE

@MaryrileyOT Well done Mary! I'm so happy for you! You'll be the most fantastic OT around ❤

A very important thread 💪✈

Thread about airplane creeps: I’m on a plane from a late-evening stopover from and was very tired and had a row to myself to sleep but couldn’t avoid noticing what was going on in the row behind me.

[Alexandra @AlexMayhewOT]

@Antonia0 @gregjames I'm gonna try to work this in on my next visit to the doctor 😂
