Fantastic presentation by Therese Bogaeus on the important role of Occupational Therapists in ICU at the @RecoveryICU conference. Personalised care and humanisation is key

Our whole rehab team is flourishing each week. We ALL keep adapting with our fab MDT joint working.
I also think it is having a real positive effect on core ICU nursing staff with an EofL wish this week. People thinking differently 🐈⬛ @RachelC_OT @lynsey_gribben @PeterOBrien1973

Surviving critical illness is only the beginning for those who are treated in intensive care, so we need a rapid expansion of the provision of patient rehabilitation services to help patients return to life before critical illness.

Really loved being at #sics2024 yesterday. So impressed by Tamara and her ICU story, met so many wonderful people including @TantamKate and ‘Carson’ 🐶 from pets as therapy and got to chat about some work using the cough assist pre-extubation.
Pleasure to share the stage with these women on #IWD2024 at the #sics2024 conference talking about lived experience of ICU stay and recovery, and the importance of rehab throughout #Rehablegend #RightToRehab @hdevine161 @champagnebird @TantamKate @leahvhughes
