@ArchwayDiva Thank you ☺️ It’s just a literature review but would love to do some primary research on this topic one day!

@emilyOT_ That sounds fantastic Emily, message me if you can't get a copy. So interested in your research project!

Brownie points with the family OTs 😇(daughter and niece) @ OT News

@hspenceruk @theRCOT @LGBTQIAOTUK After I finish my course in June, I’d be happy to be involved! ☺️

We need @theRCOT LGBTQIA+ Expert Advisory Group to grow. The EAG *needs* greater diversity of perspectives & experiences 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈, and support for sustainable progress 2024+. Any LGBTQIA+ members of @theRCOT keen? Maybe @LGBTQIAOTUK folks seeking a more active role? 🤔 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Okay here goes... OT can/should/needs to be many things but I think we're in denial if we think fluffy quotes about OT ensuring people do more than survive is truly reflective of the realities of the profession and its role in our broken health and social care systems #OTWeek23

@hat_teaa 100% agree with all of this

Does anyone know any lawyers in the UK? I've been kicked off my course because Im Deaf and there's not enough funding for interpreters. I don't want to leave my course. 😔

@hat_teaa @AmbertheOT @LGBTHM Oooooh, have been meaning to get to around to reading this - thanks for an extra reason to check it out! ☺️

@emilyOT_ @AmbertheOT @LGBTHM I wrote a bit about that in this paper, specifically in personality disorder context bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/…

I wanted to get a head-start on 2024 LGBTQ+ history month so made this on Canva - a timeline of homosexuality and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. @LGBTHM 1/6

Here is a preprint of a letter to the editor written by myself, @Madnotbad60 and @Shrink_at_Large on the harms of the disproportionate diagnosis of "personality disorder" amongst transgender people psyarxiv.com/ruj5v

@worldwithchew @hspenceruk Awwww thanks 🥰

@emilyOT_ @hspenceruk Think you'd be perfect for a role like this

Saw this, thought #OT. I can see this role supporting LGBTQ+ facing/experiencing #Homelessness really suiting an #OccupationalTherapist / an #OccupationalTherapist being perfect fit for this role - sings of our values, strengths and holistic approach ⬇️

@sherlynmelody @nataliehixy @Alys_OT @StudentOTs @Shay_Martine96 @ot_students @abichic2 @PendingOT @FresherOt @KStudentot Sorry I’m a bit late, but I’m happy for you to message me 😊

@DollyDollysen Great!

@DollyDollysen Do you know when you might release it? As a trans person wanting to work in mental health (as an OT), I’d really want to read it whenever it’s available 😊🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

@hspenceruk @ThomasW_OT @LGBTQIAOTUK I’m free for this :)

@ThomasW_OT @emilyOT_ @LGBTQIAOTUK Want to catch up one day next week? I'm resisting 'doing', but happy to support your doing 😜💚

@hspenceruk @ThomasW_OT @LGBTQIAOTUK Can’t promise I’ll be much of help, but I’d be up for this 😊🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

@ThomasW_OT @LGBTQIAOTUK Sounds good @ThomasW_OT , and I reckon there will be folks that are keen. If you're up for organising/facilitating, you're welcome to use the @LGBTQIAOTUK Zoom account etc.

@annmariehughes @RITB_ Awww that’s very kind, thank you!

My next OT placement is inpatient mental health. Is anyone able to point me in the direction of any resources or Twitter accounts that centers on peoples’ actual lived experiences of these services? I'm thinking off accounts like @RITB_, but I'm wondering if there are others?😊
