People can think at 4,000 words per minute but only speak at 125 WPM. That's why there's a "talking/thinking gap" - there's more to say than we can ever express - & why we should try to make the space for deeper, more generous conversations: danielstillman.com/blog/the-thoug… By Daniel Stillman

Rehab can be creative and a joy fir everyone involved #righttorehab 💜🌈

Small changes to the way we do things can support someone with dementia. We might simplify the way we say something,remove distractions or offer 1 thing to do at a time. We can make changes both in ourselves & in our environments #WithSLTuCan

I'm so excited to be seeking another OT to support this rapidly developing work. Huge progress and more to come Lynsey Robertson Karen Thom #AhpDementia #AhpDementiaLothian Alison McKean Claire Hind Siobhann Blair QN

Well done Marianne Solheim 🏆So pleased to be part of the next step on your professional journey #ahpdementia

Putting into practice the #occupationalbalance #positivementalhealth #selfcare we encourage in others every day. This was a good day Prof Elaine Hunter Alison McKean

So many positive and individualised outcomes achieved working in partnership with Edinburgh Leisure #movementformemories

This is so central to our OT core values #Occupationaltherapy #AHPDementia

‘Rehab is as essential to good health as medicines and surgery’ says health minister. Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) Many services have lost rehab space & rehab is rationed due to significant system pressures. This negatively affects patient outcomes. Rehab needs investment 💷💷💷 #RightToRehab

Great opportunity for an OT to join team and help develop this further in Edinburgh apply.jobs.scot.nhs.uk/Job/Jobdetail?…

It’s #DementiaAwarenessWeek in Scotland & to mark this I have just had my Alzheimer Scotland charity place confirmed for the 2024 Edinburgh Marathon 🏃‍♀️😨 @MrHairyHaggis

😃 pleased to still be part of the evolving story #AHPDementia #CPCS

Lovely part of the country and great OT team; wishing you an outcome which is successful for everyone 💖

A question for all DEEPers and beyond … A thought for people who want to involve people with dementia in research +/or activities Brought to our attention that people with dementia are not invited to take part because they don’t have a ‘carer in tow’ Discuss?

as a Scot i enjoy hearing the Scots Language spoken aloud by someone with confidence, we need more of this so we can all regain our confidence in our spoken & written Scots, it is always a great surprise to find out that I speak Scots all the time when with family more please
