Any #OccupationalTherapists out there working in social care review teams? Currently shaping role for #OT also leading on the work & would love to connect to discuss. @theRCOT @theOThub @OT_Expert
#OTHacks not sitting well with me now - seeing very little explanation of professional reasoning behind “hack/intervention”. Playing into the stereotype that we dole out equipment etc. willy nilly without the complex thought involved. #OTWeek2022

Happy #OTWeek2022 to all #OccupationalTherapists, especially those @OTatHDFT :) #OccupationalTherapy

@BritishGas @BritishGasHelp 3rd time staying in for boiler service today and engineer hasn’t arrived. Rearranged previously (after visit due) due to emergency call-outs. No contact as yet today. Really poor service considering how much we’re paying for fuel!!

Why is an ED nurse on #Casualty trying to source a care package for a fast-track gent? Also, equipment not able to be delivered for a few days? Get a #socialworker and #occupationaltherapist involved! #MDT

Language is powerful, especially when it comes to #dementia. Consider the HUGE difference between saying ‘John needs feeding’ and ‘John needs support with eating’, for example. Our blog expands on this. Do let us know what you think. planwithcare.co.uk/post/the-…
Any #OTeducators out there willing to share experience of virtual placements please? How did you go about offering a good quality placement experience? #occupationaltherapy #placement #OT #virtualplacement

OT friends and colleagues; does anyone know any services that provide OT for addiction recovery? There seems to be so much support for cessation (which is amazing) but not much for adding quality to a new life.
Thanks in advance.

Happy #OTWeek2021 to all @OTatHDFT :)
As a profession, occupational therapists are on the frontline of health equity and are uniquely placed to understand and tackle the challenges people face.
This week let's celebrate what you already do, and show the world what more can be done. #OTsForEquity #OTWeek2021

Any community occupational therapy teams (physical health) out there? Would love to connect and chat about how you demonstrate the quality of your service #communityOT #communityoccupationaltherapy
Had an interesting discussion with a fellow OT - is it commonplace not to refer for occupational therapy follow-up if someone is discharged to a care home? In my experience, it tends to be only physio as “there are staff there 24/7 to support with ADLs”. (1/2)
What happened to promoting independence? I may be missing something... #righttorehab #occupationaltherapy (2/2).

For my masters I'm researching into Occupational Therapists perspectives on generic working roles within physical health settings. If you are an OT who has worked in physical health, then please follow the link to participate in the survey yorksj.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/…

What do OTs think about using MOCA vs RUDAS in community rehab? I prefer the RUDAS as a tool, but MOCA always seem more appropriate as I only seem to use standardised ax to aid memory clinic referrals. - 1/2
Otherwise, I tend to assess cognition within a functional activity, so wouldn’t use the RUDAS. Interested to hear what others do/think. #occupationaltherapy @RCOT_OP #cognition #MOCA #RUDAS
