#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 😁

"Occupational Therapists have an important opportunity to identify and reduce fire safety risks within our community. 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."

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 Consent given for photo 💗

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/…

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…

ME: ‘I spend 20 hours a day lying down. I have four upright hours in the day’

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis sufferers live with a range of conditions some have described as being ‘buried alive’ or a ‘living death’
