Thanks to everyone involved, all the great presenters and everyone who came to listen. AHPs and AHP support workers smashing it out of the park. Innovative and inspirational.

We know that the anorexic brain gets stuck: on numbers, ideas etc. and the brain becomes unable to move on. Does anyone know the mechanism for this?

Annual reminder for newly qualified Occupational Therapists that you don't have to get a job in a hospital, Your skills are transferable! You could also work in local authorities, design, architecture or the arts. Anywhere where people are! Green trousers optional.

OTs help you to help yourself. It's not their job to 'train' you. They teach you how you can own your own body, how to listen to it, how to learn from it, how to work it so that it can work.
I'm not sure why #OccupationalTherapy is trending today but it reminds me that it was wonderful occupational therapists working with physiotherapists and nurses at St Pancras Rehabilitation Hospital who taught me to stand up and walk, all done with care, kindness and great skill

T levels provide a fantastic opportunity for people to move in to AHP careers and roles across Health and Social Care. Great work @FionaLeahy222 I hope this generates the interest in placement offers it deserves
Fantastic line-up at today's NEY AHPs Deliver Showcase Event - looking forward to presenting later the work we have been doing in Doncaster to support AHP T Level industry placements #ahpsdeliver #NEYAHPsDeliver #DoncasterIsGreat @SYB_ICS_AHPs @DBTH_AHPs @MyDoncaster
