This is a great one that everyone can learn. Something we do automatically in the speaking world. I can’t imagine what it’s like to meet people who can’t tell me their name without needing to find a pen and paper. Thanks for the ongoing learning @NUH_Ldlt 👏🏼

Good morning. Are you up for a challenge? This week our sign is "my name is" You only need to sign the key words (e.g. "name" "Fiona"), remember to speak too. I have added the alphabet for you. Try adding "hello" to the beginning Let us know how you get on 😊 #MyLDteamday

Those working in the NHS, does your Trust/workplace have a Fertility in the Workplace Ambassador? This is a role linked to the Fertility Network & it's something I'm looking at bringing into my Trust. So interested to know anywhere that already has one or to confirm who doesn't

Those working in acute Trusts, what is your Trusts no smoking policy like and how is it enforced? Do you have problems with people ignoring you being smoke free sites? Starting an IVF journey has made me even more aware of the smoke related harm our patients & staff are coming to

The deadline for registering for a postal vote is today at 5pm. It can be done online but some people may need assistance to do this. The reasons for accessing alternative routes for voting can be both physical and related to mental health! #votingasanoccupation @RCOTTrentregion

@RowenaPadamsey making an excellent point about voting being a valued occupation and what we as occupational therapists can do to support our patients in engaging in this! Remember if you're unable to get to a polling station you can apply for a postal vote or vote by proxy!

“Thank you for holding, I’ve had a chat with my colleague and explained what’s been going on, he should be able to help you, okay? I’ll just transfer you now…” One of three things will now happen: 1. You’re transferred to someone who has no idea who you are or what you’ve just been talking about for the last twenty minutes. They say, “I’m not sure why you’ve been put through to me” 2. You’re put on hold and then eventually an automated voice tells you to “listen carefully to the following options…” 3. The line goes dead.
