I'm hosting #OTalk tomorrow evening at 8pm and I'd love it if you could join! We'll be looking at #Creativity and what makes a 'good' intervention 🤔 How do our OT values help define what 'good' means? What does 'good' mean for service users?

Working in the GLAM community sector in galleries, libraries, archives and museums--the evidence base is growing for Occupational Therapists supporting people's participation in meaningful occupations. Social engagement combats loneliness and isolation.

Our food bank will be open on Monday as usual. This is not disrespect but a necessity, those relying on food banks don’t chose what days when they need help. They are an important service for those in crisis in absence of an incompetent goverment.

@Dr_Ellie Neither.

Offered patient same day appt for acute problem. Declined as wanted specific doctor only. Therefore 3w wait. Declined to wait. Declined same day appt. Their narrative - I can never get an appt Our narrative - we offered a good service. Who’s right? #NHS #teamgp

@lorfongra @Dr_Ellie Trust me, some doctors are very far from professional. Chronic Illness patients have often met alot of HCPs and they have a right to want some autonomy over who gets to influence their health.

My work trainers are coming towards the end of their lives, does anyone have any recommendations?

@EdHutchison @timricketts_ Some films are really long tho

@timricketts_ Whoever is suggesting sketchers probably also buys their underwear in multipacks from M&S and won’t start a 2hr long film after 8pm because it’s “too late”

@Catcei Think about how you want to use it - networking/learning/sharing Be you - share your perspectives and thoughts too. Remember code of conduct works here too - don't say anything online you wouldn't say IRL Enjoy it!

#occupationaltherapists what are your best tips for using twitter professionally? I am keen to use it for networking and CPD but it's a bit overwhelming where to look first!

🚨 New data released today shows that disabled people are among the worst affected by the cost-of-living crisis. On food, on energy and on transport, disabled people are more likely to be cutting back than the general population. Why is that? 🤔 1/7
