For #WMTY24 day, East CAMHS held #feedbackfriday sessions to gather views from our staff and patients. It is hoped that this pilot will be used to develop future feedback focus groups as part of ongoing service development. The donut stand went down a treat too! @NHSGGC

@nhsggcmhot I've had the pleasure and joy to work with Susan over the years. She has certainly not only had an impact on my career but on many patients journeys. Congrats Susan. Well deserved!

[Kirsty Smart @CiorstagSmart]

This OT week, I have been reflecting on the occupation of work. I have nearly been 1 year in post as a new Lead OT in CAMHS. I have learned lots and still have lots to learn from my team and my patients. This is what motivates me to keep going.#motivationforoccupation#OTweek2023

[Kirsty Smart @CiorstagSmart]

East CAHMS OT team held a workshop about exploring meaningful occupations, occupational balance and goal setting with our MDT colleagues today. Always promoting the valued role of OT in CAMHS. #meaningfuloccupations. #OTWeek23

#DyslexiaAwarenessWeek Does this visual help you understand the challenges people with dyslexia face?

There are many strengths associated with being dyslexic such as being able to think outside the box and being highly creative.

[Kirsty Smart @CiorstagSmart]

Fantastic opportunity to join our North CAMHS team and be part of our fabulous Band 7 Lead OT group also, who are pivotal in developing this essential OT role and service in CAMHS.
