Occupations are the building blocks of life. 🧩 They are any activity that we need, want or like to do to live and to look after our physical and mental health. They can be related to self-care, productivity, leisure or rest. #OTWeek23 rcot.co.uk/occupation

Occupations are essential to living. They give our lives meaning, purpose and structure. πŸ’š This #OTWeek23, help us show people everywhere what occupations, in the context of occupational therapy, are and why they are so important! Get involved: loom.ly/pDQ9cIw

a welcome statement during a difficult time for many
NHS staff across the country are, as always, playing their part in response to this week's riots. But we shouldn’t let dedication to duty disguise the fact that seeing this flare-up of racism will leave many colleagues feeling afraid and unwelcome. ➑️ england.nhs.uk/2024/08/state…

Thank you @wendy_foo_! πŸ’š You’re right, as #OccupationalTherapists we have so much value to offer in the sport and leisure industry (& beyond), focusing on #MeaningfulOccupations & how #PhysicalActivity can be used throughout the OT process. #RCOT2024 #Movement #OT #AHP
Often the #PhysicalActivity space can feel over-saturated with many wonderful professionals working in this area, but @sportforconf demonstrate the value of focusing on occupations and breaking down barriers to exercise e.g. using the showers after swimming, booking sessions etc.

I asked our panellists for two words to describe #OccupationalTherapy in 2035. This is what they said: Confident Occupation-focussed Leading Community services Plentiful and diverse Responsive and EVERYWHERE What are your two words for the future? #RCOT2024

With the conclusion of #ECFS2024 , I want to give a shout out to the wonderful @LuigiGraziano10 , a respiratory therapist who first presented this work 7 years ago at #ECFS2017 and has encouraged me to keep pushing and believing in the role of OT in CF. A true pioneer πŸ’«

I want you to know that survivors of torture are utterly terrified of being bundled onto a plane to Rwanda - a notorious torturing state. I met with around 20 survivors today in treatment at our Manchester rehabilitation centre and this was top of their agenda.
