Band 6 Occupational Therapist in Acute Medicine. Greater Manchester 🐝💚 All opinions my own.

Manchester, England
Joined June 2017
Finally graduated 😭🎓 almost ten years ago I was sectioned under the MHA and had an occupational therapist who asked what mattered to me - all the blood sweat and tears later, six years after I started and almost two years after qualifying I did it ❤️

PEOPLE 👏🏻 LIVING 👏🏻 WITH 👏🏻 DEMENTIA 👏🏻 DESERVE 👏🏻 REHABILITATION 👏🏻 Louder for the people at the back and woe betide anyone heard saying ‘dementia = no rehab potential’.
Replying to @WHO
For those with #dementia, rehabilitation is key to maintaining independence & optimal functioning. Find out more in the new WHO package of interventions for rehabilitation bit.ly/3t0v9KT #WorldAlzheimersDay

Amazing 🙌🏻
Ben spent over 2 months in ICU, during which, he worked with our OT Laurette on strengthening his upper limbs so he could get back to his meaningful occupations. Today, Ben played this for Laurette when she went to catch up with him…what an absolute #rehablegend 💚⭐️🎄 #icurehab

Met the most amazing young lady recovering from COVID and going home - assessed functionally, onward support and goals discussed and complete! She told me COVID has changed her life but she’s more motivated to live it everyday 🙌🏻 #OccupationalTherapy #proud – at Lambeth, London
