#OccupationalTherapy students and practitioners - as it's #NationalBurnsAwarenessDay ...
Wondering how hard/easy you find it to include fire and burns awareness education in cooking assessments? What are the barriers? What would help you do this effectively?
Please share 😁
Wonderful meeting yesterday with @LeicsFireRescue and @nottsfire to discuss all things #OccupationalTherapy in fire prevention!
Forgive the squinting selfie, the sun was so bright!! 😎

We are already working with patients who face a higher likelihood of being affected by accidental home fires, and we can play an important role in helping them and their families and carers to create a safer environment."

Watching a Professor stop mid ward round to give a demonstration of 'hospital corners' to a curious 11 year old is just *chefs kiss*
#LoveYourNHS ❤️❤️❤️

This is worrying. Please take care. We know how challenging it is & we are here to care for you if you need us, but we’d much rather you didn’t. Remember #coolcallcover. @NewcastleHosps @GreatNorthCH @Tyne_Wear_FRS bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-ty…
Our nurses are an invaluable strength in the NHS, we need them and we should support their right to a fair wage.

“If we are going to do the right thing by patients and address the seven million waiting lists right across this country. Patients deserve better and our profession deserves better.”

Perfect care ❤️❤️❤️
Today was a cosy film with friends kind a day! Some of our brilliant families turned daycare into a mini cinema with popcorn and snacks to watch the #DCsuperpets movie! 🍿 🎥 ❤️ #familytimerocks @nottmchildrens @nottmhospitals

Cannot, cannot, cannot speak highly enough of the NHS and the wonderful individuals who make it. The warmth, compassion, expertise and responsiveness to my family in the last 3 weeks has been astounding. I cannot thank them enough ❤️ @Thom_Baker
A really thought-provoking read!
"As practitioners can we ask anything less of ourselves? We need to do our homework too" when considering how to be truly client-centred with accessibility and adaptation in our practice
I've been thinking about this for a while. Something for my fellow healthcare professionals on my blog today. A little different but I'd like to hear your thoughts. jboccupationaltherapy.co.uk/…
Such insightful words from @OT_rach about #AHPsDay2022

I LOVE this video (posted in 2 parts) about burns first aid and prevention!
Take a look, takes minutes to familiarise yourself with the Cool, Call, Cover message.
(Next we need to collaborate on avoiding burns when smoking! 🚬)
It’s go time! A huge thank you to @Newcastle_NHS for funding the film, and congratulations to our team for a great script and production. Posted in segments due to Twitter limitations, but will be hosted in full on our website and @NewcastleHosps YouTube channel!
@NFRS_Prevention - maybe we should cover Cool, Call, Cover in our SWV and school interventions?
(@tashaneale and @casterbex will now tell me already do in @nfrs_education 😂)
#NationalBurnsAwarenessDay
Data shows cooking causes about half of all UK accidental house fires. Keep kids safe by following the advice below 👇
And adults?
Watch out for loose clothing ✅
Keep tea towels/oven gloves away from the hob ✅
Keep appliances clean ✅
@nottsfire
The kitchen is the most dangerous room in your home for children. A majority of burns & scalds take place there. Keep children safe with these key safety reminders: Keep hot drinks out of reach and Always have pans at the back of the hob. #BeBurnsAware cbtrust.org.uk/
Fascinating article about ME:
"Long Covid has been a “game-changer”, says Hughes. “It has debilitated so many frontline healthcare workers [who] have lingering symptoms that are so similar to ME it has led some people to conclude that it actually is ME. irishtimes.com/health/your-w…
