Today was our Alicia's last day at Salford Royal. We have no idea why you want to leave sunny Salford to go back home to Australia! We wish you all the luck in the world. It's been a pleasure having you a part of our team, and we are going to miss you!

The big man himself made a special delivery to the ACM therapy team. Our OTs, Physios, and TAs must have been very good this year, with all the presents left under the tree. #Christmas2024 #secretsanta #presents

2025 has brought with it the start of our brand new therapy breakfast group! ☕️🍞🍴 Giving those patients who normally make their own meals at home the opportunity to practice this in hospital before they leave, as well as socialise with others through meaningful activities ✨

Our 2 lovely L6 patients (aged 100 & 94!) attended the breakfast group this morning. Both made their own hot drink, cereal & crumpets with supervision from OT! 💚 getting the practice in before they go home 🏡 Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust (NCA)

We had lovely weather for our Garden Party for #DementiaActionWeek. Different teams all came together to create an event to raise awareness of dementia. The patients had a lovely afternoon in the garden, reminiscing, carrying out games, and participating in exercises
