We couldn't take a selfie, but so nice to get a visit today from @Prison_OT , another Kirsty who works as an OT for the Welsh prison service. Lovely to share experiences and our passion for the job. Thank you. xx

Finishing the day not only feeling inspired but the key feeling/word for me was 'reassurance'! Reassurance that 'you're not a lone voice... we need to shout, link arms & push forward together" 🫶🏻 @elaineahpmh

Great to listen to Henry Simmons, Chief Executive Alzheimer Scotland. "How can we help people to continue to live their normal life... it's about inclusion and resilience." @alzscot @AhpDementia @elaineahpmh @MacleanFiona #AHPconnectingpeople

Kirsty is an Occupational Therapist based in Monmouthshire Integrated Services and works across both prison sites in the Health Board area.
In this video, she explains how occupational therapy can help people and more about her role.

It's both Advocacy Awarness Week & Occupational Therapy Week. Did you know that prisoners are also entitled to an advocate to support in expressing their views & wishes & ensure that the rights they have are respected? #AAW23 #OTWeek23 #prisonOT #OT #advocacy @BoardGwent @theRCOT

Advocacy is getting support from someone who can help you to know your rights and express your wishes and feelings when decisions are being made that affect you.

Occupations are essential to living. They give our lives meaning, purpose and structure. 💚
This #OTWeek23, help us show people everywhere what occupations, in the context of occupational therapy, are and why they are so important!

As part of #OTweek23 - share a favourite occupation. For me, it's spending time in #nature with my camera & capturing precious moments like these 🫶🏻 @theRCOT #OT #meaningfuloccupation #puffin #wildlifephotography #wildlifephoto @WTSWW @RSPBCymru

“There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they're falling in.” ― Desmond Tutu.
Thank you for reminding me of this very fitting quote @warren_larkin. #ACEs #traumainformed @Academyjustice

Always good to fly the flag for @MonmouthshireCC and @AneurinBevanUHB, discussing our model of Health and Social Care Delivery and leading the way in Integration. Bridging this gap helps to provide the best possible service for the individuals that we support. @CUGeriMSc

Great presentation from @RebeccaTwinley challenging the notion that not all occupation is healing or health giving. #VirtualCareFestival @TheOTShow #thedarksideofoccupation

Ferrules, also called stoppers, feet or ends of a walking stick need to be regularly reviewed. Make sure to check any stick you come across! Ask your local Physiotherapy department for advice. Change if not "Good" @WalkingstickMOT @RCP_FFFAP @GeriSoc @thecsp #fallsprevention
