Snow and ice warnings are in place ❄️ Falls are common, particularly in older people. If you or someone else does fall, try to stay calm and check for injuries before trying to get up. If they need further help, call 111 or 999. More info ➡️ nhs.uk/conditions/falls

What do you do to embrace the changing season into Autumn, with shorter days, longer evenings, cold winds & lots of rain: what lifts your mood to cope with these changes? What do you like about Autumn? For me, it’s enjoying walks through parks, kicking up leaves of all colours.🍂

This review outlines why physical activity is often out of reach for people with intellectual disabilities. It is a call to action for inclusive design, and a challenge #OccupationalTherapists are well placed to meet. 👉tinyurl.com/3hf9ucep @theRCOT @sportforconf

This post really shows how powerful #reminscence is & how applicable it is to all ages - this is one of range of therapeutic interventions that may be used by an #OccupationalTherapist working in physical or mental health, within any clinical specialty or age group. #valueofOT 💚

As we all look back at #LiveAid40, I would like to tell the story of my experience as a 20yo attending the Wembley show on 13 July 1985. These are never-before seen photos, taken on my Canon A1 with a 50mm lens from my position centre front in the crowd 🧵

#reminiscence 💭 #musicsalad 🎶 #meaningfulactivity 🎫 #OccupationalTherapy can help on so many levels - accessibility to events you enjoy, learn new skills (eg play musical instruments or sing) or simply alleviate social anxiety when with friends/at public events. #valueofOT 💚
🇪🇺 Gavin Doyle ☘️@gavin_doyle_ie12 Jul 2025
Dire Straits, Elvis Costello, Sting, Queen, Bryan Ferry, The Who, David Bowie, Elton John, George Michael, Paul McCartney at al. - it’s mad how many great English artists played at Wembley for #LiveAid in 1985. And with U2 and the Boomtown Rats, a few Irishmen too! #LiveAid40

Important to find something you enjoy doing that lifts mood & spirit, which also improves your physical & mental health - activity can be done on your own or when socialising with others - did you know #OccupationalTherapy can help you find #meaningfulactivity? #valueofOT 💚
Joe Wicks@thebodycoach12 Jul 2025
Exercise doesn't just mean burpees and sprints. All movement is good 🙏🏼 Go for a bike ride, walk around the park, walk with your dog, do some yoga in the living room, go for a light jog ☺️ Find something you enjoy 💙
