Small things that can help reduce burnout and increase wellbeing - might not solve everything but we can still do the small things consistently through our behaviours, investment & intentions

Sun setting on what was an incredibly busy weekend, 15 pts seen, 13 discharged at home freeing up vital hospital bed space ⁦@RUHBath⁩ and ⁦@swasFT⁩ ambulance resources 👊 ⁦@PTOTSLTDietAHPs⁩ ⁦@nhsbanesccg⁩ ⁦@HCRGCareGroup⁩⁦@Will_SWASFT⁩

7 day working in A and E at the RBH reduces length of stay significantly. Community services are utilised for admission avoidance to prevent medically stable patients being admitted to the hospital. @RBNHSFT @CEO_RoyalBerks #occupationaltherapy #ourwonderfulOT #OTalk2Us #OT

The hierarchy of needs at home. I am not afraid to share that my basic physiological needs are not being met. The purpose is to work towards making them better. You can get my new poster template to help you here: etsy.com/uk/listing/131…
