“The value of psychologists to patients, families and services following a stroke goes beyond direct therapy with a patient. “However, there are only 7.8 whole time equivalent psychologists with stroke services in Scotland.” - @KatieMacGregor @StrokeScotland #EdinburghHiiD

Smiling like crazy underneath the mask🥳Today was my last day of my final placement - it has been an amazing 8 weeks working with a fantastic team at the Robert Fergusson Unit @NHS_Lothian. And just like that 2 years of MSc Occupational Therapy have come to an end.

Can’t believe tomorrow is my last day of my final MSc placement with @NHS_Lothian It has been such a wonderful experience! Had a lovely afternoon with patients on the bike. I’m looking forward to my rewarding career as an OT! As you can see we have no fun at all 😅
