Well.. my contemporary placement is over! Today we presented our research & recommendations on improving autism-friendly facilities to @WBA along with lots of reasoning and OT-ness! It’s been a great placement! Thanks to @UoW_OT and @PGloverWBA for everything ⚽️!

Huge thanks to all the NHS staff who are doing their best to keep the health service going despite having 10% fewer staff than we’re meant to have.

We see what you do, and couldn’t be more grateful 💙

Have secured a band 6 maternity leave cover post in my current job 👏🏼 💚 progressing in a specialist LD team can be quite difficult as jobs don’t come up often. Pleased to have the opportunity to work with even more complex cases!

We are so #proud of Occupational Therapy lecturer Alison who masterminded this venture, and of former students @lcOT26 and Fran for the work they did during their placement to get this project off the ground. Amazing to see the end result @AHC_UW @theRCOT

[Lois OT @lcOT26]

@UoW_OT @AHC_UW @theRCOT Amazing that it’s all come together now. Looks great!!

Does anyone know if advice has changed around the use of buckle guards for adults in transport please? @DVLAgovuk @RCOT_PLD

[Lois OT @lcOT26]

@SophieJSmith3 @NHSEngland @theRCOT Yesss! It would also be great because Occupational Therapy is such a broad profession, so people may benefit from being able to hone in on a particular area of Occupational Therapy that’s in line with their interests 🙂

Happy World Occupational Therapy Day! 💚💚 #RCOT #WFOT

Riley Regan, who attends the @AVFCFoundation’s Ability Counts disability football sessions, walked out with @IngsDanny this afternoon and the striker joined his mascot in wearing headphones to block out the noise. 💜

@StefanManby Hi Stefan! That’s good to hear. There’s about 50 people in my team but we do have profession specific teams that sometimes do little meals out and things. I tried planning a christmas do for everyone and only 6 people out of the 50 came! 😂

If your colleague is great with patients - tell them
If your trainee is organised & diligent - tell them
If your Consultant is calming & kind - tell them
If your nurse in charge is bright & hard working - tell them

Normalise giving compliments when deserved - it means a lot

[Lois OT @lcOT26]

Giving people choice is so powerful!🌟 also cake for breakfast sounds amazing!!

Sometimes it is worth reflecting on how hard we are desperately trying to cling on, just to stay upright.
If this is you today, remind yourself how amazing you are. 😘
