Critical care OTs..: this is your chance to comment on the new AHP Critical Care Capability Framework…

@xxsnzz I’ve had this experience in the past 18 months and my mind has been totally blown!

@DrLindaDykes It’s been a lifesaver for my Dad who has AL amyloidosis and was living with a systolic BP of around 70. Has massively improved his quality of life for the last 18 months but took a very long time for anyone to agree to prescribe.

Suddenly started noticing patients on midodrine for postural hypotension: why’s this drug popped back up again? Wasn’t it taken off the market in USA as there wasn’t an evidence it worked? Has something changed? (Or do I need to look into what local CPD events have been on !)

@SimonOKing Prestatyn, N. Wales

Kelleher + Van Dijk + Konate = Colossi. No matter what happens now it’s been quite the effort. #CHELIV #CarabaoCupFinal #LFC #YNWA

@BetsiCadwaladr Very grateful to Sister Hocking and her amazing team for the care and treatment I received at the IV suite in Llandudno today. A real example of an outstanding service. #thankyou

@ThomasJPaddock @HarryTtweets After experiencing both “sides of the coin” what is clear to me is that a multi-professional, proactive and can-do approach which car fully considers (but doesn’t shy away from) risk is the most important factor in achieving this 3/3

@ThomasJPaddock @HarryTtweets This is a brilliant thread. As an OT working in hospital-based acute frailty I met Mr Smith every day. I now work with an amazing hospital at home team and we have a brilliant relationship with the ambulance service 1/1

@ThomasJPaddock @HarryTtweets Because of how we work, we can safely avoid these unnecessary admissions and do so every day. As others have said, we really can’t underestimate advanced care planning / EHCPs and understanding what matters most to the patient. 2/3

@DrLindaDykes Thanks for sharing @DrLindaDykes - this is West Cheshire within our Hospital at Home service #ucrservices #fallsmanagement

Falls services in East Cheshire - "We've come to realise a fall is never just a fall". Has switched from a Therapies initial response, to Therapies + GP/ACP/tACP. Have lifting kit. #UCRServices

@SaveOurVascula2 @Eluned_Morgan I was in the department at this time. It was horrendous and even as someone who has worked under similar conditions I was horrified by some of the things I witnessed. It’s so sad.

Did you see this @Eluned_Morgan ? Relative of 76 year old describes Third World carnage in A&E as others collapse and cry in pain. You told us in August that Betsi was " turning a corner" but this story is from last week ! Glan Clwyd , yet again !

Leaving on top is a classy move #klopp

@neil_mccormick A lazy and biased review which is way off the mark….. a little research would have gone a long way here.

Has Britain mysteriously succumbed to the charms of country music? The young audience for @MorganWallen at London’s O2 Arena looked like they had turned out for a barn dance in cowboy boots, check shirts and trucker caps worn backwards. 20,000 of them. telegraph.co.uk/music/concerts…

@OT_EmmaLouise @RCOT_MH @theRCOT I’m an OT ACP (physical health) and wouldn’t mind a chat at all :)

I’m looking for #advancedclinicalpractitioner OT’s or training to be OT ACPs, who wouldn’t mind a quick chat? If you work in mental health, then that’s an extra bonus! @RCOT_MH @theRCOT #OccupationalTherapy #ACP #advancedclinicalpractice

@Thornton_health Probably not alone but definitely not right

Am I alone in thinking it is wrong for consultants to strike? Nurses, paramedics, junior doctors, yes, they are just ‘workers’ but consultants are senior leaders, just like senior managers. They demean themselves by striking.

@PennyFatchett I’ve sent you a message :)

Would love to link up with any OT or physio colleagues providing therapy input for virtual ward patients, especially Frailty 💙💚 please retweet if this isn't you or get in touch if it is 😁
