Currently enjoying 'take 2' of the @CahprOxford conference online.. some wonderful speakers, and great to have our @OUH_OCE poster about 'music therapy & brain injury' presented again tonight! #neurorehab @MusicTherapyRe1 @musictherapyuk #musictherapy.

We are so grateful for our ARAs and all they do for patients on the ward! Providing additional therapy to patients by incorporating it into the everyday nursing tasks and more. They advocate all professions in their single role and do it amazingly. Thank you ❤️

.@Liz_ORiordan speaks about the Japanese concept of ikigai. How to balance your life; finding the intersection of things you love, that you’re great at, that the world needs, and that you are paid for. You might not have it all in all that you do! #30YearsofWinS

Today I made a kilt for my patient's zimmer frame so he could stand and dance the Highland fling in music therapy and honestly I think my career has peaked. #neurorehab #musictherapy #physiotherapy @ouh_therapies @OUH_OCE

As a student physio I was severely told off for helping a nurse hoist someone back to bed as they were falling out of their chair. "Not my job" apparently 🙄🙄🙄

@abi_carey Absolutely the right call and thank you so much for sharing! So important to recognise what you need to do for self-care. I shared this with my team the other week, hope it helps others so am sharing again.

@EmOnTheBrain I always correct izzy or lizzie to izzie (dont get me started on my surname) unless it’s a completely one off communication.. I have a bug bear about misspelt names! But now totally feel like i may have written Emelia at some point 😳 SORRY!

What do people generally do when your name is consistently spelt wrong in emails (where name is in the email address)? Correct or don't bother? I've gotten Emelia, Amelia, Emilio, Emio, Emily all in the past week 🙃 For those who spell it correctly I love you all, always.
