Good to see a focus on effectiveness, and cost effectiveness as well as attention to criminal justice /public health and forensic mental health. Have your say on Setting research agenda for occupational therapy rcot.co.uk/setting-research-…

Gutter journalism. #FakeLaw from beginning to end.
1. Khan was not “given £350,000”. This is a lie. That was the overall cost of legal aid in his criminal proceedings in 2012. This is like saying someone who receives a NHS heart transplant is “given” the cost of the operation.

Does anyone work in mental health/secure care have pets or animals on their units or has anyone got an experience of staff bringing their own pets into work? Would love to hear from you if so #pettherapy #mentalhealth #securecare #occupationaltherapy

Occupational therapy = The deliberate application of occupation as a therapeutic medium – to achieve a defined occupational goal. #otalk

In 2016 - i set myself the challenge to define occupational therapy in a tweet - with the launch of the #rcotstrategicintentions including 'positioning for the 21st century' does it still fit the bill??? 1/2 #otalk

Whilst in the same breath recognising there is little research into this.
problem is that ‘rehabilitation’ is ill defined, not prioritised, and not what is actually offered. intervention to facilitate lasting change like occupational therapy is not widely available or accessible

Plenty practice in preparation for #Origami 'mind-fold-ness' session next week in our prison as part of our @theRCOT #OTWeek2019 event!! It's amazing how one small activity can be such a huge coping strategy. #SmallChangeBigImpact #valueofOT #Mindfulness #occupationaltherapy – at Wales, United Kingdom

Great to see an occupational therapist on England’s parole boards
I am very proud of this. I had lots going on during the recruitment process, and I’m so glad I didn’t give up. Enjoying being out of my comfort zone and learning new things, alongside the brill day job at Salford 😀 gov.uk/government/news/appoi…

My doctoral research produced an intervention precisely for this purpose. Next stage is research on its implementation and effectiveness @KKSoodLaw
The @hmpps probation staff who partook in and supported my research would bite my hand off of for a resource like occupational therapy @KKSoodLaw

My heart 😭
"When a soccer player's hijab started falling off to reveal her hair, her opponents gathered around to provide cover while she fixed it."
This is what EMPATHY looks like. This is what HUMANITY looks like.
This is what HOPE looks like.
We need more of this ❤

Neither do people with these experiences typically grow into joker @Keirwales
This is an important film to see. A useful reminder that people who live throught brutality and neglect dont grow into Harry Potter and Matilda.
