I was asked by someone yesterday if I liked being an Occupational Therapist and my answer was an emphatic YES! This video helps to describe why. The life changing power of occupation is incredible to see in action. #NewRCOT Great video @theRCOT @SteveGFord 👏
It’s time to show the world the true power of what we do! 🌍🙌🏽🙌🏿🙌🏻 We want people everywhere to value the life-changing power of occupational therapy. #NewRCOT

Congratulations @Wrexham_AFC A day of mixed emotions as a Cardiff City fan living in Wrexham. My first Cardiff game was against Wrexham in League Two at Ninian Park. Both clubs have been on quite a journey over the past 26 years. Wonder what the next 26 holds for them both

I am leaving @theRCOT in April. Going back to the NHS!! I'm quite keen to catch up with Welsh based members before I leave. It would be great to hear your views so I can complete a good handover, and we can keep the momentum going for #TeamCymruOT

It's arrived! Looking forward to reading my old work colleague @jpandyawood new book. Available in your usual book places Met Jason 20 years ago, right at the start of my career. Such a kind hearted, compassionate man who deeply cares about the most vulnerable people in society.

Worth noting that the Digital Voice landline switch over means there could be people in this snowfall without contact due to the power cuts as well. When you are due the switch, ensure if relevant you register as a vulnerable customer.

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay.   We can all help to prevent suicide by starting the conversation and creating a culture of openness, understanding and support.   Remember, it is not always obvious when somebody needs help.
