I love being an Occupational therapist. Working alongside people gives a privileged insight into the rich tapestry of their lives. My role is to help them darn the small holes which occur over time so that unique tapestry stays whole strong and colourful to the end.#ChooseOT

🇯🇵 'IKIGAI' is a Japanese concept that means 'a reason for being.' The word is usually used to indicate the source of value in one's life or the things that make one's life worthwhile. We believe ikigai links to #OccupationalTherapy!

The debate continues @RobTheOT @preston_jenny you’ve done a great job. You’ve highlighted the barriers to clinicians participation in research . But Natalie Jones analogy that research is like a Yorkshire pudding on a roast dinner might had lost it for you! #Rcot2019 @theRCOT – at Birmingham, England

100%... "Personalisation is rooted in the belief that people want to have a life not a service". #OccupationalTherapy is valuable in supporting people to achieve their personal outcomes. Choice, Control and Co-Production are key! #personalisedcare #makingitreal @TLAP1 @theRCOT
