Great to welcome Gary Waltham, Chief Executive of @theRCOT, back to our Trust!

After his earlier visit with HRH The Princess Royal in Peterborough, Gary joined us at Fulbourn Hospital, Cambridge—meeting colleagues and seeing the incredible impact of our inpatient OTs 👏

@AvrilDrummond1 @BBCr4today We have spoken to Sir Charlie about and met with his team last week about how OTs can support this agenda.

Please join the Work and Health Network on the RCOT Communities Platform for more on this discussion.

Thanks for being part of our journey here 💚

We’re still championing OT – just on other platforms.

Artwork made at our Stroke and Neurosciences Art Group has gone on display in our hospital.

The group is held on our Stroke and Neurosciences wards every Wednesday and is led by an Occupational Therapist (OT), an OT assistant and a regular hospital volunteer.

Liminal spaces represent transitions, but how can they have therapeutic value? 🌊

Listen to students, Lizzie and Caoimhe, and OT, Sue, explore the therapeutic value of liminal spaces, like the Wave project at North Devon. 💚

#DisabilityPrideMonth is a time to recognise, honour and celebrate the achievements and identities of disabled people.

It’s also a moment to deepen understanding, amplify voices and champion inclusion.

👉🏿 Here are our plans: https://t.co/UCLD2KmEvm

[Royal College of Occupational Therapists @theRCOT]

Great to see occupational therapy and other AHPs in the spotlight in the @SeneddWales last week, when they debated a motion calling on the government to provide greater support to Allied Health Professionals (AHPs).

Watch the debate 👇
