Morning read : 'behavior is not a problem to control—but a signal to interpret'. Especially for neurodivergent students, whose systems may be more sensitive. Therefore, instead of saying 'what's wrong' we should all start the conversation with a simple 'how can I help you'. ♥️

Oh...it finally came. My book ordered such a long time ago about gait analysis, as I was preparing myself for a stroke rotation. Oh, well...it goes on a shelf for now. It is all about neuropsychology now as I am looking forward to challenging myself in a mental health setting. 🥳

Exactly 4 weeks ago I helped to organize a wedding ceremony at the hospital for my end of life patient. It was truly a magic moment. Today...he passed away. And his wife found me at the hospital and said 'thank you for making his last dream come true'. Feel blessed to be an OT.

A big shout out to Whipps Cross Wellbeing team, who organised 'Bartsbucks' for us ♥️ While we were screening notes to plan our caseload for the day, coffee with the affirmation note was delivered to us!!! The workplace does not make you happy; it's the people you work with!

What an amazing Mental health simulation training that I have had today organised by Barts Health Education Academy!!!! It triggered my curiosity to dig more, learn more and become a better OT for my patients. Proven again - a holistic approach is the key to high quality care.
