Black Friday + Blue light card is the best 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Great training by Sensory Integration Education today on sensory processing, trauma and attachment W/ Sophie Riches and Clíodhna Kerr and Sam instigating lots of discussion with how this impacts upon our patients and the treatment we provide

Our ward calendar or a visual representation of my thoughts during December?

During this second lockdown, I have had the opportunity to support a patient on #PICU to access #spiritualwellbeing through Odette Douglas . The Patient has found it so beneficial and for me, it has been an absolute pleasure- such a great service offered Northants Healthcare #wearenhft

Buttons and myself on ASI WISE sensory training this morning- learning about neuroscience and descending motor pathways 🥸

Big day for my family and the NHS- my auntie is having an operation to remove her cancer and my (shielding) mum and her partner are having their Covid vaccines! Feeling very grateful to have the NHS and for the most vulnerable of those I love the most to be a little bit safer ❤️

Can anyone help my clinical lead with this query about Physical Health needs in acute Mental Health environments with regards to beds and safety?

When your student knows you well, and finishes her placement! #occupationaltherapy #OT #grateful

Breaking my unintentional twitter hiatus to say this week has been a week of networking, both at #bigspd22 and again yesterday on zoom with NAPICU #OTnetwork . Feeling inspired ⭐️

Facebook tells me that 12 years ago this week, I got my first band 5 post in inpatient mental health. 12 years on I am still in the same service, still just as passionate about our profession, and have just completed my first week as clinical lead for the team 💚
