Fantastic day yesterday, talking and learning about diversity within Perinatal OT. Came away with lots of ideas and feeling inspired to continue making change to way we work and improve for our women. @TeamPerinatal RCOT Mental Health #rcotperinatal23

Join BBC Radio Producer Roshan this Friday at 12pm as she goes LIVE on Instagram to talk everything mental health with West London NHS Trust's Lead for Occupational Therapy Michelle Grant. ⏰ Set a reminder on Instagram stories: instagram.com/nhsenglandldn/

As we move on from #Maslow (and it's #inaccessiblelanguage), I've been introduced to #Glasser & 5 basic needs #choicetheory, but I came across this when i couldn't sleep last night. Off to buy the book to see if it makes as much sense as the infographic. #humanneeds #humanrights

“It’s the OT’s that take people outside”. “Ask OT if you need to buy a phone” “Sending emails? Speak to OT” If it’s something you can do on your day off, it is not a therapist specific skill.

FYI @sarahw0684 Exercise can actually be therapeutic for some women who are postnatal so I find this whole article completely degrading. I’m sure she cuddles her baby plenty of times

Not sure I know a single member who agreed to the consultation that took place..

In what fucking planet am I meant to pull 1700quid a month out my arse for childcare? I'm off to find a planet and an arse as I have no other option unless I don't work - which I really don't want to do and shouldn't have to do. @PregnantScrewed #childcare #help #wtf #workingmum

On that note this week I learned that the london Borough of Ealing has decommissioned all their interpreting services which I think is shocking considering how diverse and multicultural the Borough is. It will only make services more inaccessible for people.

Sensory Integration Module 3 starts today! I am so excited to continue my SI journey but nervous about the amount of work I will have on top of my caseload. Need to get my organizational skills in order 🤓

Surely this is not real? I’d love to know whether anyone in the government actually has any form of mental Heath or trauma training? And have they actually visited these ‘4 star hotels’ as they are more like 1 star hostels with restricted living and opportunities

These record-breaking figures should sound the alarm. They are indicative of a system that is broken and a Government that has refused to listen to young people demanding change. The Government must get a grip on the scale of this crisis.

So pleased that I passed Module 3 of Sensory Integration course with a Merit. I am now officially a SI Practitioner🎉 can’t wait to start the SI pathway within Perinatal, so many ideas for interventions 😍 @TeamPerinatal West London NHS Trust

I wish !! It’s actually a Micheal Kors Watch my late mum bought me and it cost her £185 of her hard earned money . It means more to me than any Rolex . Sorry you felt uncomfortable 💓

Incredibly sad story from Gaza. Utterly condemn horrific Hamas attacks, call for release hostages and sickened by anitsemitism rise (not least in UK) but how can any sane world let innocent children and families pay the price with their lives? We learn nothing 😪💔

This is what ethnic cleansing looks like, and every single leader who defended or enabled it should be in jail.

Hi Israel ישראל This is your soldiers who entered a house in Gaza and shared the underwear of the people who used to live in the house on Instagram. Is this part of your “self-defense” strategy?
