Occupational therapy = The deliberate application of occupation as a therapeutic medium – to achieve a defined occupational goal. #otalk Royal College of Occupational Therapists x.com/ForensicDetail…

"Psychoeducation Involvement Centres" A new, more accurate term for Recovery Colleges.

Neither do people with these experiences typically grow into joker Keir Harding

Vale Dr. Ann Wilcock you will be deeply missed by the Occupational Therapy profession

Reforming prison health in five nations. interesting social and cultural differences even in highly integrated nations - identifiable in foci and style of presenters #leph2019

My heart 😭 "When a soccer player's hijab started falling off to reveal her hair, her opponents gathered around to provide cover while she fixed it." This is what EMPATHY looks like. This is what HUMANITY looks like. This is what HOPE looks like. We need more of this ❤

Great to see an occupational therapist on England’s parole boards

My doctoral research produced an intervention precisely for this purpose. Next stage is research on its implementation and effectiveness Kushal Sood

Plenty practice in preparation for #Origami 'mind-fold-ness' session next week in our prison as part of our Royal College of Occupational Therapists #OTWeek2019 event!! It's amazing how one small activity can be such a huge coping strategy. #SmallChangeBigImpact #valueofOT #Mindfulness #occupationaltherapy

Whilst in the same breath recognising there is little research into this. problem is that ‘rehabilitation’ is ill defined, not prioritised, and not what is actually offered. intervention to facilitate lasting change like occupational therapy is not widely available or accessible

Looking forward to catching up with Scotland’s forensic mental health research community tomorrow @FN_SoFMH

Is anyone else the only OT in their service? I have just started in a service predominantly made up of psychologists and am really keen to think about how to hold onto my OT identity!

Does anyone work in mental health/secure care have pets or animals on their units or has anyone got an experience of staff bringing their own pets into work? Would love to hear from you if so #pettherapy #mentalhealth #securecare #occupationaltherapy

Gutter journalism. #FakeLaw from beginning to end. 1. Khan was not “given £350,000”. This is a lie. That was the overall cost of legal aid in his criminal proceedings in 2012. This is like saying someone who receives a NHS heart transplant is “given” the cost of the operation.

Good to see a focus on effectiveness, and cost effectiveness as well as attention to criminal justice /public health and forensic mental health. Have your say on Setting research agenda for occupational therapy rcot.co.uk/setting-resear…
