I've ignored this platform for ages now (sorry!). But if anyone is at @NaidexShow tomorrow and wants to meet up, please drop me a message! I'll be presenting in the Accessibility Hub at 10.15 and 11.35. Other than that, the whole day is basically a social event!

You can set continuous treatment, choose how long courses are or have reminders every x number of hours. Just delete the profile when your hog doesn't need it any more and add a new one for the next case.

Thread for for #hedgehog critical care / rehab / rescue folks.
I'm both a genius and an idiot. I've been using the @medisafeapp to manage my own human meds for about 11 years... since volunteering as a rehabber I've been setting med/treatment/feed reminders in calendar or clock

So if you're juggling multiple cases just add each hog as "dependents" on your own profile (which can be blank if you're one of those weird healthy people who just exists without help from big pharma).
You'll get pop up reminders with the hogs name, drug or treatment and dose.

Possibly the worst piece of music ever composed. Like a singer got blackout drunk on 80 proof moonshine and suddenly believed he had mastered playing "The Last Post" while standing next to a drum kit left out in a heavy rain shower.

You're welcome.

Continuing our longstanding trend of sharing weird stuff with each other my partner just introduced me to "Paralyzed" by Legendary Stardust Cowboy.

I broke the belt clip on the back of my #TENSmachine and some of my favourite clothes are pocketless. So I made a thing. It's got #FrenchSeams which I learnt from @sewingbee...I'm pretty pleased with it!

@TherapyAccessUK @Mercy_Ngendo @DrAmyPsyD Thanks for the tag! Yeah I'm seeing a lot of ADHD in adults because of the overlap with hypermobility disorders / burnout and fatigue. Do let me know if you have any questions. 😀

It’s easy to normalise The Telegraph and other right-wing media spreading lies about minorities but this is not a normal way to exist. Journalists are intentionally stoking hatred against disabled people in this country. Nothing less.

New country scratched off my OT map today. That brings my business reach to 14 countries. Not bad at all.

For those who've not seen this before, I scratch off each country where I've worked with a client (all via video chat).

@LewisCapaldi (first, you're awesome) second your fans are too cool for the BBC.

[JBOT - Jo Southall @JBOccyTherapy]

Nice work choosing the "Appropriate glasto crowd shots" for the Lewis Capaldi feature @BBC news...

@tiashakurr I feel like you'll appreciate this!

@davidpdxer @HSI_TV @SaraAlfageeh Modern shop bought lettuce is rubbish. Heirloom lettuce grown at home and picked just before you eat it... whole different story! One of the reasons I wish growing food was taught widely at schools!

Apart from the hay fever, the constant sweat, the sunburn, the lack of sleep, the wasps, the bug bites, the baking hot car, the 3am sunrise, the non-stop disco from next door’s garden, the yellow lawn, the heat rash, the absence of air con and the complete lack of energy… I’m actually a big fan of Summer.

If you find a "sunbathing" hedgehog pop it in a high sided box with some snuggly towels and take it straight to your nearest vet who can administer fluid therapy. If you have concerns about an injured or sick hedgehog you can always get in touch via 07507 894 759.

It's building up to a really hot weekend! Please keep fresh water out for passing wildlife. A major cause of illness and death among hedgehogs this time of year is dehydration!
