@StudentOTs This was years ago but I was marked down for not having hot drinks on home visits, my bladder literally couldn’t take the long journeys.

Facing an amputation is tough for anyone to get to grips with, making it so relatable and personal to children goes such a long way in preparing a child and family for the road ahead.

The latest addition to our #Prehab resources- helping to prepare a child for an #amputation following a #Cancer diagnosis! These are some of the photos that have been incorporated into a #PersonalisedCare comic strip relating to the child’s journey!

Certain places can spark fond memories of loved ones we've lost. Which place helps you to feel this connection? 💛

Great first week back @UCLH learning all about the new #ProtonBeamTherapy paediatric service and seeing the fab facilities! Excited to start doing all things #OccupationalTherapy

[Claire Sedgwick @protonbeam_OT]

@CharlOTte_Paeds @uclh @TCST_London Very excited to be coming back!

@dr_nickward @kawrightkelly Personally I would start a debate without shaming another #bekind 100% individualised goals are best, but currently we have a cohort of therapist who don’t know anything other than survival. I’d aim to empower, educate and grow my profession

[Claire Sedgwick @protonbeam_OT]

@CharlOTte_Paeds Love this

[Charlotte Betteridge @CharlOTte_Paeds]

We only get one chance to get it right for the child & their family. Every decision matters.

A great visual demonstrating good practice in #endOfLife care for children & young people. #DyingMatters #PaediatricPalliativeCare @gourmetpenguin @ThatPhysioAbu

Now, this is a story all about how
My training got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became redeployed in crit care.

[Claire Sedgwick @protonbeam_OT]

@CharlOTte_Paeds Thank you for coming all this way and adding some well needed structure to our day! Bringing a Warrens was an extra special touch! #housebound #friends

Bill has been with his wife Anne for 18 years but forgot they were a couple after dementia robbed him of the precious memory. But then he popped the question after believing that they'd only just met - he’d fallen in love with her all over again. ❤️

[Ross Drillingcourt @RDTherapies]

@CharlOTte_Paeds @ThatPhysioAbu @_KaterinaKot Love it! That’s us alright 🏥💙

[Charlotte Betteridge @CharlOTte_Paeds]

What a great resource @ThatPhysioAbu Let’s get it up on the wards! #EarlyMovement #ChildrenAreNotSmallAdults @MunnMilly @becca_pickford

[Charlotte Betteridge @CharlOTte_Paeds]

Great #occupationaltherapy session today! Balance work & hand function all rolled into one! Best bit about it is he wasn’t aware it was ‘therapy’. Certainly jazzed up the view from @uclh! These pens are a fab resource #SpongeBobSquarepants #WindowPens #UpperLimb @RCOT_CYPF
