OT at NHFT who values the priviledge of being part of others mental health recovery journeys. Interest in perinatal, craft and is a novice runner. Views my own.
#OTWeek23@RCOT_MH Celebrating occupational therapy week in the perinatal mental health forum. Tonight we had 4 amazing women speak about how occupational therapy helped enable their recovery. So inspiring!

@SomiaOT Sadly we see women traumatised by this and the failure and inadequacy they feel when they struggle to breast feed. I look forward to hearing your ideas when you are back! Welcome to your little one!
Lovely surprise to find I had been awarded @NHFTNHS compassion champion award. It means a lot. Thank you, @EmmaWelch36, for the nomination. @MadelineWarwick@galpincn@theRCOT
I am absolutely delighted to be able to say that I am a 23/24 Elizabeth Casson PhD award recipient. Such an honour to receive this award to support my PhD exploring occupational identity transitions in new mothers. Thankyou @ElizabethCasso1@Hudds_Uni_OT@Hud_HHS
Our perinatal service now offer collaborative group intervention facilitated by OT, nursery nurses, support workers and peer support. 3 groups a week across the county. Been trialling it a few months now and feedback from mums is looking really positive. #weareNHFT@galpincn
It is with mixed emotions we say farewell to OT student @EmmaWelch36. Such a joy to see you blossom and grow in confidence the last 12 weeks. The OT profession is in safe hands! Thank you for all the incredible work good luck in your band 5 post! @MadelineWarwick@theRCOT
If you haven’t booked don’t worry, just turn up as it’s a free event with free parking.
Sun will be out, hope to see lots of parents, children and parents-to-be for our wellbeing walk promoting mental health in the perinatal period. @DelapreAbbey@thebodycoach@dantdm@mr_baish
Really looking forward to presenting with @FionaDorsetOT and @ESaundersOT at @RCOT_MH perinatal mental health specialist section study morning. We'll be focusing on looking at feeding through the lens of different OT models
I am sure I booked on for the @theRCOT perinatal forum infant feeding session on Wed but it is not showing in my events and bookings are closed. Really hope it will be recorded as it is such an important topic. So disappointed.#perinatal
@Keirwales I wasn't disappointed! Inspirationa. My greatest teacher had BPD. She taught me to be curious so I could understand the why, to listen, and validate her distress and to appreciate the environmental impact. Game changer! @theRCOT
