Music therapy + physiotherapy + long-term ECMO in critical care. Being from the Philippines, music is a big part of Sandra's culture. Cue occupational therapist Amil, working alongside physio Kat and Simon, for this wholesome therapy session. Person-centred care👏 #RehabLegend

We are very proud to have won the Green Award at our annual @RoyalPapworth staff awards! This was for reducing the amount of equipment we provided to patients which often ends up in landfill. We also sought therapeutic activities from colleagues rather than buying new @theRCOT – at East, England

Every week we have a therapies-led meeting to discuss long-term surgical patients who are struggling with rehab, identifying barriers to recovery and discussing discharge plans. Here’s Charlotte (occupational therapist) and Pradeep (speech and language therapist). Teamwork👏

The long weekend brings lots of discharge challenges for our occupational therapists. Using their 'Grand OT Round' system, they have been able to plan and prepare for discharges from four wards in 10 minutes, saving 100 minutes of therapy time. Excellent teamwork👏💚 @theRCOT
