The mental health crisis gets a lot of attention but we donβt talk enough about the mental health of mental health professionals.
Congratulations to my esteemed colleague β¦@BSpurlOT_Acute_β© ππΌ
Just got his promotion to Senior OT within Acute Services. Enjoy your new responsibility and success! Throwback photo to PMA training in the good old days, see you soon! π€ π₯

Can we all agree on something?
If you're a politician getting paid over Β£84,000 plus expenses, for mainly office work...
You don't get to tell nurses on less than Β£30,000 that they're being paid enough for 12-hour shifts keeping people alive.

First 5k run in easily over 9 months.
After enduring several physical health setbacks, I feel so proud to have hit this milestone, onto the next one!
Nb. The runners high feels immense π€©

Last day of wearing a PIT π¨
It has been emotional to have wholesome feedback and well wishes from colleagues who have supported me to develop from day 1! π Bring on the community π₯³ π
Recently accepted the role for Senior Mental Health Practitioner (CMHT) after a successful interview on my birthday.
I would gratefully accept any tips or pieces of advice, going from OT to βgeneric postβ is coming with its unique challenges I have heard.

By the time she gets to M for midwives and N for Nurses we will have all left.
Therese Coffey said her priorities as health secretary were 'ABCD': ambulances, backlogs, care, doctors and dentists.

#ThisMorning has turned completely dystopian and Black Mirror by offering to pay energy bills as a competition prize.

I said to one OT at the rehab that I didn't think I would be able to do a show to 100s of children in a theatre again.
She said I would.
This year, I did a show to 100s at the Queen Elizabeth Hall.
A woman with her kids asked me to sign a book.
It's me, she said.
It was the OT.
OTβs ran coffee morning with a twist, giving service users a healthy alternative to croissants and biscuits, garnished with freshly grown mint from the ward garden. πͺ΄ π π

Normalise distancing yourself from people who only ever make negative and/or critical comments about you. Your mental health is just too precious. β at Camberwell, London

100yo lady fell today, neighbour unable to get up and legs bleeding. She rang 999 - unable to see today advised GP.
GP - no appointments advised 111.
111 - advised ambulance, back to square 1.
Poor neighbour rang our team in crisis - matron & OT stayed beyond shift to assist
Amazing feedback from our service users at GYAS, going the extra mile never goes unnoticed, blessed to be in a professional discipline like this.
