It's Random Act of Kindness day today so we asked some of the OTs what kindness meant to them.... Here are some of the replies

"I was drawn to OT because of the person-centred ethos of the profession. I love being part of a patient's hospital journey in MOE, listening to their story and supporting them to return home and achieve what is important to them" - Laura #ChooseOT

"My gran broke her hip when I was 18 - I saw how much OT helped support her discharge home and it inspired me to make a difference in other people’s lives. I love enabling people & encouraging them to achieve their goals - best job in the world!" - Alannah #ChooseOT

"I love being an OT as I get to work with an amazing team and see the benefit of what we do every day. I love seeing people progress and reach their goals" - Amanda #ChooseOT

"I like to think OT's offer a bright light during a period of darkness in a person’s life – A person has a problem that is affecting their quality of life, we find a solution to that problem, no matter how big or small, to ensure the best quality of life possible" - Jen #ChooseOT

I love OT as we are a holistic profession that takes into account a person’s whole life from every day functional tasks to social isolation we use equip and everyday objects as part of therapy and develop new ways of doing or teach new skills. - Nicola H #ChooseOT

I love being an Occupational Therapist because I have the privilege of hearing people’s stories, finding out what is important to them and helping people to find ways to achieve their goals. - Moira M #ChooseOT

I enjoy supporting people to regain their confidence and helping to improve their quality of life. - Morag B #ChooseOT
