I'm enjoying my training as an occupational health case manager! So many parallels between OH and OT - and it is very function focused. Also realising how I've been failed by occupational health myself in the past, and aim to do better. #occupationalhealth #occupationaltherapy

Seeking participants to be interviewed for my dissertation. Criteria is you are a survivor of intimate partner violence and participate I'm activities outdoors. This will not only add to a very small evidence base, but gives survivors a chance to speak up cumbria.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/participant-an…

💚Study OT at Salford September 23 - please share 💚 We have a few places left. Join us for an informal discussion about next steps this Tuesday evening 6-8pm in the OT Hub, 4th Floor, Allerton Building or email SHS-OTAdmissions@salford.ac.uk salford.ac.uk/courses/underg…


I've just accepted a new role in occupational health. Excited to see how I can apply my occupational therapy and public health training to the field. Leaving the "occupational therapist" title behind has been a mixed experience for me. #OccupationalTherapy #OccupationalHealth #OT


One of the best decisions I made. My career hasn't been plain sailing by any means but I have not stopped loving occupational therapy. Salford was an amazing student experience too @UoSOccTherapy @SalfordUni #OccupationalTherapy #OT

Interested in studying occupational therapy? Whether you are thinking of a career change or taking your next steps in education, please come along to our open day on Sat 17th June so we can chat to you about joining our programme this Sept 2023! salford.ac.uk/undergraduate/…

Proposed fee rise by @The_HCPC is unfair & misjudged. Paramedics, OTs, ODPs and more face a 20% fee hike they must pay before they can work. Last time our campaign forced the HCPC to halve its 18% fee hike. We will fight it again this time! ✊ bit.ly/3DVkfJZ #nhspay

Unacceptable proposal from the #HCPC to increase fees by 20%. This figure is way above inflation and will affect members significantly. csp.org.uk/news/2022-09-2…)


"You're the first health professional outside specialist services who's acknowledged and validated my struggle as an autistic woman, thank you so much" - I've been having a bad time with my mental health but feedback like this keeps me going. #mentalhealth #asd #OT #Autism


Proud moment when a service user tells you they'd normally be afraid to speak to a man but I made them feel at ease and comfortable and they now feel they've made a huge step in their recovery. Trauma can really have a huge impact on people's lives. #ptsd #trauma #ot


Trying to record a viva presentation. Flatmate barges in having a coughing fit. The window cleaners arrive. The cat starts growling at the window cleaners. This day can surely only get better? #remotework #homeworking #university #occupationaltherapist


Really great session from Linda Crosbie from @MigraineIreland on how I can support my colleagues with #migraine - as well as myself! #OccupationalTherapy #OccupationalHealth #VocationalRehabilitation @UKVRA


My philosophy as an #OccupationalTherapist - validate someone's experiences. Believe their experiences. They are the expert of their own mind and life. #OT #Therapy #Empathy #MentalHealth #OccupationalTherapy

After 8 years working for the NHS, I'm off to pastures new in the New Year! Time to put what I learned during my role emerging placement to the test. I haven't had the best year due to sickness impacting on my job, but hoping 2022 is better. #OT #OccupationalTherapy

@RBarrettOT I listened to your chat with Kwaku last night. I found it really inspiring. It gave me more confidence to disclose difficulties I have with my mental health as a strategy of self management. Thank you @KwakuOT


It's everyone's favourite holiday activity @Home_Safari ! The power of animal assisted therapy is immense. #HomeSafari #AnimalAssistedTherapy #OccupationalTherapy #CAMHS #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters

A heartfelt review from a young person for #AHPsDay #AHPsday2021 - I can't dispute this as we push people to do things they may not want to do but when they reach their goals they see the value! #OccupationalTherapy #OccupationalTherapist #OT @MFTnhs @RMCHosp

Here's my episode of @ot_chill - thanks to Kwaku for giving me the opportunity and being a great host. Helping someone with #PTSD to feel at ease is a massive feat! I talk about my own #trauma and work in #CAMHS. #OT #OccupationalTherapy #MentalHealth open.spotify.com/episode/2p1LaM…
