AHP day 2. Fabulous day, hosted by WAB, celebrating all things AHP. Huge team effort with some brilliant feedback. Could not be prouder to work with such amazing people @agnideepak @cassie_eastham @AmdramOT @jeanettewarbur3 @BernieHesford @NatMol722769
What a great day celebrating #AHPsDay2024 at Atherleigh Park. Inspiring to see and hear the amazing things AHP professionals are doing, as well as facilitating a Cognitive Stimulation Therapy workshop. Huge shout out to @jennyowenOT for coordinating from the Wigan end! 💚

It was lovely to be invited along to a 'pop up' at Atherleigh Park Hospital this afternoon - speaking to carers and professionals about the support and services we can provide. We are pleased to say that this will now also take place monthly!

So today we celebrated #mentalhealthawareness by wearing green 💚 the #therapyteam and @AtherleighP staff also completed a bike ride from leigh to Gretna Green covering all the miles there and back in 12 hours. And we all got moving using the VR @GMMH_NHS @DigitalWigan
Absolutely hilarious but fab session with staff and patients promoting movement for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek!! Thanks @DigitalWigan for bringing out our competitive side! 😂💚
@GMMH_NHS @AtherleighP
🧠 We had a Virtual Reality session at Atherleigh Park today for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek!
🥽 VR has mental, physical and social benefits.
This year's theme was 'Movement', and as you can see from the below video - there was plenty of that! 😂
#DigitalWigan #VR @GMMH_NHS
Celebrating mental health awareness by wearing green.. this year’s theme is ‘move for your mental health’ so it’s been a week of promoting physical activity on the wards and tomorrow I’ll be taking part in a cycle to Gretna Green challenge at work! 💚💪 @GMMH_NHS @AtherleighP

ALT An image of a person holding the back of their head. They're standing outside in front of what looks like some trees, wearing a denim jacket with the sleeves rolled up, and are running their hand through their short, dark hair. The text overlaid reads: You treat the disease: you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you win, no matter what the outcome - Patch Adams (1998)

“Cooking and baking are widely used in occupational therapy, both for the purposes of pleasure and to help with peoples mental health.” 🍳
Thank you all for sharing. We contacted the BBC and it's now been amended to include a quote from Dr Sally Payne! loom.ly/2odX1CA

🤦🏻♀️😔 Good on @theRCOT for their response to contact the BBC and advise them of their error 💚
Come on @BBCLondonNews “occupational therapist” is a professional protected title. When you do an interview ask someone their job title. We aren’t occupational health therapists @theRCOT

It’s Dementia Action Week next week (16-22 May)!
Why not show your support by attending a Dementia Friends Session during the week? You'll learn about what it's like to live with dementia and how to turn that understanding into action: bit.ly/39OivFh
Our OT students led a smoothie tasting session for patients and staff for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2022
We bought people together for a group singing activity to combat the effects of loneliness and celebrate social engagement. #YoullNeverWalkAlone @GMMH_NHS

Some valuable #WednesdayWisdom for today: No two people will experience dementia in the same way. Every person with dementia is unique, and will require different levels of care, support and communication.
No one should be defined by their condition.

Thank you to @GMMH_NHS for providing our hospital with a full day BBQ today for all of our patients and staff to enjoy!! It was a real morale boost and it was really lovely to see staff and service users coming together over some yummy food and enjoying the summer sun! ☀️☀️
