Occupations are linked to ROLES and they shape our IDENTITY.
Washing up isn't an activity that I enjoy, but because one of my OCCUPATIONS is a homemaker, I often complete the ACTIVITY of washing up.
What about you?

Occupations are the things we do that are important to us. Occupational Therapists ensure we can do the things that make us live, not just survive. #OTweek23

Day 2 of #OTWeek - an example of a meaningful occupation in my day was lighting the fire. The 🐶 🐕‍🦺 value it too!! #occupations

Happy #OTWeek everyone!

Occupations, what we do, is relevant everywhere and everyday. It’s who we are and how we live. But can you explain #OccupationalTherapy ?

Happy #OTWeek23 to all the wonderful #HCPCregistered OTs out there! 💚

Utterly heartbreaking. Sadly not remotely surprising.

I’ve supported many people who work for the NHS who when trying to speak up and protect patient and staff safety have been silenced and experienced retaliation and recrimination. The current system does not work. Until there

Congratulations to occupational therapist Noma M💙, who has been announced as Chair of the NHS England CAHPO BAME Strategic Advisory Group! ⭐

#AHPsActive day 1 again! Here’s a snap from yesterday, beach walk to clear the head and move legs #AHPBelfast23 RCOT Northern Ireland

Since I have some new followers as a result of an ADHD related tweet,I've made a thread on my basic ADHD recommendations. As some will know from my frequent rants, ADHD services are non-existent in Ireland, so I’ve put together some stuff you can access now, diagnosed or not

I had a great time with the first year BSc and MSc OT students OxfordBrookesOT yesterday talking about de-escalation as prep for their first placement. I was so impressed and learned loads from our discussions. Thank you for the warm welcome and I hope to be able to return soon.
