Great to see Nicko from @IronMaiden giving a shout-out to his occupational therapist for helping with his stroke recovery!

Thanks Nicko for sharing the value of occupational therapy! 💚
We wish you a full recovery and an amazing tour! 🤘🏿

To end the pay crisis we need pay rises. Join me and sign the petition demanding PM @RishiSunak gives workers the pay rise they need to keep out of poverty. https://t.co/S00twUtmnN

@LivHospitals Could this be edited? There are different departments of St Paul's and currently the Day Ward where surgeries take place is still in old Royal - I took a relative today and a lot of people were given wrong information about it being in the New Royal.

I had the privilege of handing over a Patient Diary to a recovering Covid pt yesterday.

This is patient care at it’s best.

I don’t think I have ever appreciated how important they are for patients, their family & staff.

"While many people are getting ready to tear off their masks and crowd together in nightclubs, disabled people and their families are readying ourselves to choose between work or health, money or safety, and life or death" @TinyWriterLaura nailed it,particularly 4 those with #CFS

They gave it their best. Now, it's time to show them love and kindness. RT

This is heartbreaking for our country, particularly for all of the healthcare workers who have worked tirelessly to protect life. My heart goes out to all of the officers, shop & bar workers, commuters, healthcare workers, sanitation workers & others just trying to live in peace!

Not everyone is looking forward to the match tonight...
Instances of domestic abuse increase 26% when England play and 38% if they lose.

@SallyFayOT All of mine I had 2 bar for 1 placement - it wasn't intentional but I found it to be an advantage! It was clear how 2 OTs can think very differently but still offer the best care to the patient, as ultimately the patient is the decider anyway! Learnt from lots of great minds 🧠💚

...So she can raise her kids, perform, make money, communicate & clearly has shown ability to fight for her freedom by going through this "process" yet she doesn't have the mental capacity to choose to HAVE kids, NOT perform, SPEND her money, speak for HERSELF or be FREE. W.T.F.

What do they think Britney is going to do that is so harmful and destructive if she has free will and the right to her own being? #FreeBritney shouldn't even be a thing today but because it is it should be a massive thing to everyone...

[Georgina @Gina_OT]

I know this is such a basic Q, but it's too important not to note. Great flash presentation from @MelissaTaylorOT & @KateLaceyOT from @JPUHTherapies at #RCOT2021 SO informative and concise! I think this would be particularly great for students and #NQOT s. #RCOTDelirium

[Georgina @Gina_OT]

Same when people call patients bed 4 or "NOF pt" etc 😖 - plus it's important as not all "band 4"s will be Nursing Associates!

‘If the poorest people followed the Eatwell Guide, they would spend 74% of their income. It’s not the poor that are to blame, it’s the poverty’

Very important - there’s too much blame and assumptions for unhealthy eating habits! #publichealth @MichaelMarmot #RCOT2021

[Georgina @Gina_OT]

Truly inspirational and eloquently put talk on Social Justice (or injustice) and Health Equity from @MichaelMarmot as the first speaker on day 2 of #RCOT2021 lots of things to take away from this - a lot of motivated #OT s assembled!

✍️It's been a very long but rewarding day of #RCOT2021 - managed to attend 14 sessions today! Perks of a virtual conference 👍🏼 ...
