We need a National Strategy for Acquired Brain Injury to make sure that our children get the support they need.

Excellent testimony of why rehabilitation matters #impact #outcomes #OccupationalTherapy #supportpeopletolivetheirbestlives – at Magheraconluce, Northern Ireland
I said to one OT at the rehab that I didn't think I would be able to do a show to 100s of children in a theatre again. She said I would. This year, I did a show to 100s at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. A woman with her kids asked me to sign a book. It's me, she said. It was the OT.

This ⬇️⬇️⬇️ is what we @NHSEnglandCHS mean when we say #rehab #supportspeopletolivetheirbestlives @PriyaO_NHS – at Solihull, England
This is Edna’s first dance in over 30 years. As part of her physiotherapy to maintain her balance and mobility, the 91-year-old put her goal as ‘to be able to dance again’. Dancing partner, and Physiotherapy Assistant at @CDDFTNHS, Craig helped her do just that.

One sadness is the shortage of physio/occupational/language/psycho-therapists means many patients with acquired brain injuries don’t get the intensity of therapy they need to achieve such a good rehabilitation.
When I went to St Pancras Rehab Hospital, I couldn't stand up and I couldn't walk at all. The physiotherapists and occupational therapists told me that they would get me walking in 3 weeks. I didn't believe them. They were right. I was wrong. The taught me how to walk again.

We are creating a skills bank 🏧 by inviting our OTs and support workers to deposit their skills and knowledge so that if folk get a bit stuck or just want to talk something through with a peer they know who to contact regardless of their lanyard 💪🏽 #integration #CPD #OT
