A good, balanced piece about a medication free approach to treating #psychosis in Norway. Interesting that one critic cites 60s therapeutic communities, LSD therapy & regression for reason to not go down this path. #BeyondCoercion #Choice #Safety bbc.co.uk/news/stories-5…

Love this! Have heard good things about Timpsons before.

Nice OT post going in Swansea Bay, with opportunity to expand the Individual Placement Support service. jobs.nhs.uk/xi/vacancy/916…

Through IPS we strive to build a fairer society by providing people with mental health problems with access to the right jobs, and the right support to aid their recovery #WorldHealthDay #IPSGrow #IPS

Actually encouraging to see a change of direction from NICE with regards to #ChronicPain, I just have my reservations about how it can be safely implemented within our current service models. #Tamethebeast youtu.be/ikUzvSph7Z4

Reflecting on this fantastic 5 day #BFT course from Meriden BSMHFT NHS Mental Health. Expertly delivered online. I can't wait to see how we can begin implementing it in our core service. Loads of crossover with #OT skills too, very exciting! #EIP Swansea Bay NHS SBUHB Occupational Therapists 💚

Joanna Fox discusses how lived experiences of #psychosis are oversimplified to maximize reliability & simplify diagnosis. Connecting to the content can help us better appreciate the mental distress caused by these experiences. Schizophrenia Bulletin doi.org/10.1093/schbul…

Brilliant CPD session today by JCP Solicitors on employment law, really interesting and so useful to know. Feel even more prepared to advocate for the people we support 💪

👇Powerful testimony from David Harewood “Thirty years ago, fresh out of drama school, I had what I now understand to be a psychotic breakdown. I had consumed a fair amount of marijuana and was under a lot of stress; …I’d slowly come undone” theguardian.com/culture/2021/a…

POWERFUL WATCH: Patient safety advocates Susanna Stanford 💙 & Sarah Seddon have created a film about managing adverse events, inspired by their tireless efforts to understand the difficulties faced by HCPs. WATCH IT HERE: bitly.com/ManagingAdvers… #patientsafety

Lovely to see Individual Placement Support get a mention on the BBC. Occupational therapists can play a huge role in spreading this message and supporting IPS to grow in traditional healthcare settings. IPS by Centre for Mental Health IPS Grow bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

Welsh #AHPs! Interested in research but don’t know where to start? Already involved & keen to share? You’ll want to know about our very first CAHPR Cymru event! We have great speakers for our “How I got involved in research” virtual hub launch: April 5th at 2-3.45pm via TEAMS /1

I train these clever creatures to save victims trapped in collapsed buildings after earthquakes. We kit them out with a rat backpack, and train them to trigger a switch when they find a victim & come back for a tasty treat 🐀 #herosnotpests #science #weirdjobs #WomenInSTEM

Great news this. I wonder if they have any occupational therapists in the team? Seems like a great opportunity to try and enable people to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives, whilst living with no official diagnoses. Cardiff and Vale UHB Occupational Therapy Service. bbc.com/news/uk-wales-…

Sometimes we might forget to enjoy activities just for the sake of it. It's ok if what you love doing doesn't always have an end result or tangible outcome, it can just be fun (and therapeutic for you!) #OTHacks

I think I've just been trolled by the Yodel by InPost Delivery Network webchat bot. Me: Local drop off won't collect parcels until after Christmas apparently, they've been useless, so I will have to change providers. Bot: I understand how you feel, I would do the same... 😅

I don’t know what is scarier, the fact that atmospheric CO2 just hit the highest level in human history, or that it has gone close to completely unnoticed…
