For staff that are new to critical care during the #Covid_19 crisis, Clinical Psychologst Matthew Beadman has prepared these helpful pages on how to recognise and help a patient with #delirium. #pandemic #MentalHealthAwareness #intensivecare

COVID-19 & falls prevention! 💡💡💡 Are our patients being de-conditioned stuck in rooms on their own unable to freely walk around❓ Can we see our high risk falls patient behind the closed door❓ Are we checking on them regularly❓ Is their nurse call & mobility aid in reach❓

As the impact of COVID-19 unfolds there will be pressure on rehab services to support the needs of people recovering from the virus and those affected by social isolation, lack of routine & activity and reduced input from health & social care services dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…

Doing such a fab job!! 💚

Such a good idea having a Shout Out board in the OT office, this made my day 💚. Much needed positivity #OccupationalTherapy

Great example of team work on ICU! Worked together to take our patient outside for the first time to meet his wife. Barnsley Critical Care Rehabilitation CBU2 Barnsley Hospital

If someone has been assessed by OT / Physio as ao1 with a frame, please don’t bed pan them for ease. Think about their wishes, we want to prevent deconditioning as much as possible 🙈

Amazing idea!!!! I have profoundly deaf family members & I used to work in deaf services, this would completely change their experiences (positively!) whilst receiving care. Let’s be patient focused 💚 #Communication #Inclusion #OccupationalTherapy #LiveTranscribeApp
