This is super Philip! And thank you for highlighting the role of OT in rehabilitation!
So, my occupational therapy today. I washed and dried a load, separately. I emptied a dishwasher and put the contents away. In other news, I can shower and dress myself. I long since have needed neither nappy nor catheter. I can get into a car. And I can walk again, unaided. I/2

What a monumental achievement for @CancerInstIRE! Fabulous and dedicated clinicians and academics across medicine, nursing, HSCPs, as well as patient partners @stjamesdublin and @tcddublin constantly striving to improve patient outcomes 👏🏼
The Trinity St James’s Cancer Institute has become the first & only cancer centre in Ireland to be accredited as a Comprehensive Cancer Centre. This achievement marks a significant undertaking by @tcddublin & @stjamesdublin who jointly established the @CancerInstIRE.

Concerning to come across professionals with no clinical background offering 'vocational rehabilitation' services on behalf of employers -which appear to involve constant meetings with those on long term leave to check in if they're ready to return to work yet, adding ++stress 🧵

Often, additional pressure can come where the individual on long term sick leave has income protection. I've witnessed several cases where insurers put ++pressure on employees with income protection to come back to work earlier.

Will continue as an occupational therapist to advocate for those living with and beyond cancer to go back to work if and when it is appropriate.
