Chatting with a pharmacist, discussing difficulties surrounding remembering to take medication. He witnessed a return of 5 feet of blister packs from a patient living at home alone. Always check medication management. Www.LothianOT.com

Journey to Fort William to see a client, could've picked a better weekend weatherwise. The Highlands are so stunning, but so remote for healthcare services! Scotland remains a postcode lottery for service users.

Today is National AHP day, one of the largest task forces in the NHS and healthcare generally, but little is known or understood about the extent that AHP's play in healthcare!
I chose Occupational Therapy, it's awesome!

I love to learn and engage in new things. Learning improves brain function, staves off dementia and improves sleep!
Time to get learning some more 👩🏼🎓

It is so satisfying to help and enable people to understand themselves and the way they react to their surroundings.

Occupational therapists uniquely integrate the assessment and treatment of both physical and mental health challenges.
Movement and exercise helps improve mental health 🧡

Dying as an occupation?
Not massively evidenced, too hard, not a priority, not enough occupational therapists championing the need to live until you die?
I just annoy myself (and colleagues) as I ask more questions than I can answer!🤗youtube.com/watch?v=4eaXoebX…

OK, so a bit derogatory to Dr's, but it's a good point. The patient is the expert on themself. We're all individuals, and that makes clinical decision making very complex, collaboration is key to getting it right!
Research has shown that skills learned in Scouts are the type of skills employers are looking for.
