I think it's time for me to bid farewell to X (or Twitter as it will always be to me). Social media can take over too many precious hours if you let it. You can find me on Insta, Facebook and LinkedIn and that's about all I can manage for now. Bye bye 👋

@SophieJSmith3 @theRCOT @worcester_uni Ooh, are you still looking? 1)The role of occupational therapy in menopause management. 2)The impact of body image on occupational performance I'd be very interested in the results 🙏

Is there a topic you would like to have a mini-literature review carried out on? I'm looking for topics to give 1st yr students for practicing lit. search & review skills so hit me with your ideas please! You never know, it might turn into a mini-review! @theRCOT @worcester_uni

@sarahmayshuard Happy New Year Sarah, 2024 will be better, I know it. X

2023: the year that has been the hardest to date, the year that taught me you can be at your absolute happiest but also at your lowest all in a 12 month period. 2024 please be a kind one ✨ Wishing everyone a good year ahead🤍

Increasing the #milesofsmiles from @LaughingOT thanks to Rachel Wilson when we met at the @TheOTShow , what a truly fabulous mission #occupationaltherapy #ShareTheLove

I have written an article for @thetimes in response to the new draft menopause guidelines from NICE. They are a step backwards for women. CBT may have a place when taking a holistic approach to managing the perimenopause, but it won’t improve every menopause symptom and won’t treat the underlying hormone deficiency. Women deserve to have a choice and if they want to take HRT they should be allowed to. It is about time women are heard and their symptoms and future health is taken seriously.

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

@stylinglifeOT @CovUniOT @UoW_OT 🎺🎺 And what a fantastic educator you are Jo the passion is evident @CovUniOT appreciate all you do 💚

Since going independent at the end of 2019 I've provided practice education to 61 students. 10 from @CovUniOT and 51 from @UoW_OT they are a big part of my world. Independent practice can be lonely so sometimes you have to blow your own trumpet 🎺 #occupationaltherapy
