Excited to see our article published in this month's issue of @OTnews! 😊 @KayB_OT @teresa_rushton

Best new additions at work 😍

Incredibly proud of myself @lucy_agar and Esther for completing/presenting the training package we have created on delivering purposeful and meaningful activities as part of our 10 week leadership based placement here at @CygnetOT @cygnethealth @DerbyOT #OccupationalTherapy

@lauramillsOT Thank you! Think I prefer the idea of using a physical folder :)

@lucy_agar I personally prefer a physical folder which I have with me and it’s got everything in one place. But I know a lot of people who use pebblepad, I’d say do what you think is best. There is no or wrong answer as such

When thinking about CPD, do you keep your certificates etc. in a physical folder or do you use an online system? - in other words do I have to sit down and get my head around how to use pebblepad or can I just print everything off ? 😅

@mrsmcinburtott Thank you Sian! That's a massive relief, I was getting a bit worried about whether we're expected to use it when I much prefer other methods :)

@SarahMorganOTA Haha I defo need to start doing that as well! Think I'll try to get into a routine of saving everything onto my computer but print of a physical copy as well just in case something happens!

@lucy_agar I just have a folder on my laptop titled CPD and save everything to that. I try and save them with clear names so I remember what they are 🤣

@OTmumof3 Yeah we got a free account with uni too! Think I need to just spend a bit of time learning how to navigate it properly than it'll probably all make sense 😊

@lucy_agar I use pebblepad, I like the layout and we used it at uni so had the free account.

@ChantelleeOT Yeah it's probably best to have a physical copy and a copy on my laptop just in case, thanks!

@lucy_agar I scan my certificates and then print of the file as a whole

Need this for my dissertation 😍

Snow day ! 🤗❄️

🐮 and a bts photo 😍

@physiogemma It was great working with all you physios! Thank you for letting me tag along so many times!! ☺️

@lucy_agar It was a pleasure having you on the team Lucy!😊 good luck with the rest of your degree!

First day of placement: crying in the car because I don't want to go in Last day of placement: crying in the car because I don't want to leave 😂

@BillWongOT It's nice to hear that educators feel the same way!

@lucy_agar I have that same feeling now as an OT academic- First day of class- nervous & excited for the students who will be with me Grad ceremony- crying because I know they will be qualified OT practitioners soon.

@suminaa__ It's so unexpected I really thought I would be desperate to finish! Glad to hear you're enjoying your placement! 😊

@sabeenOT 100%! So glad my first placement was such a positive experience, fingers crossed the next 2 are the same! 😅🤞

@lucy_agar When you've enjoyed placement that much, you don't want to leave! I remember the feeling!

@ChloeHagueOT Thank you so much! Im sorry too I didn't realise I'd be leaving early 😩 Thank you for looking after me for the last 11 weeks and lending me your book! Hope you have a lovely Christmas! ✨🎄

Sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye today! Thanks for all your help within our team @lucy_agar, good luck on the rest of your OT journey, you will be fab 🌟
