Around 6.00am on a Sunday morning in June 2020, Peter was opening the door to let the dogs out. He suddenly had an overwhelming sense of vertigo, and fell out of the door, ending up in a heap on the lawn. He tried calling for help, but he couldn't speak. "I was blue-lighted to

The Twits. James and the Giant Peach. Matilda. Only one name comes to mind - Roald Dahl! But it may surprise you to know, that one of his most famous characters only came about after his wife Patricia Neal had a severe stroke that left her with aphasia. #RoaldDahlStoryDay 🧵1/3

It’s crazy to think it’s been 14 weeks since I had annual leave. This Friday I get to have a 4 day weekend then have to wait another 7 weeks to have 12 days off on a cruise. Roll on the end of the week and roll on November. 🚢👏🏻 🍹

A stroke can damage the way nerves control your muscles. This can cause muscle tightness and spasticity, which can be painful. If left untreated, spasticity can cause muscles to be permanently shortened. For more information about treatment, visit: bit.ly/3rjJijB

Mentally and physically tired from a 3 day wedding weekend where I had to socialise and talk to unfamiliar people constantly as well as having to fly to somewhere I’ve not been before and having to help set up the wedding venue. #Introverts #socialanxiety

Young people not only survive a stroke, but they also live with it. Alex, who had a stroke at 23, will live much longer with the effects of her stroke than she ever did without, & this can mean #MissedMilestones. Share Alex's story for #WorldStrokeDay & help others understand.

Happy OT week everyone! Let’s hope we have one week where we aren’t called Physios or nurses. That people fully understand the value of our profession , what is meaningful and important to someone and to be given an opportunity to find a sense of purpose! #OTWeek2023

Undiagnosed visual perception problems can impact daily activities like finding your keys or the salt on the table. When not explained this can be very frustrating for stroke survivors and their family.

#BREATHAKING was a very difficult watch having worked throughout the pandemic in a hospital. But the one thing I do really appreciate is the fact the drama acknowledged Occupational Therapy. Highlighting we all worked hard as an MDT in very touch circumstances. #ITV
