OTs help you to help yourself. It's not their job to 'train' you. They teach you how you can own your own body, how to listen to it, how to learn from it, how to work it so that it can work.
I'm not sure why #OccupationalTherapy is trending today but it reminds me that it was wonderful occupational therapists working with physiotherapists and nurses at St Pancras Rehabilitation Hospital who taught me to stand up and walk, all done with care, kindness and great skill
Really interesting webinar from @CriticalCareOT last night on patients in prolonged disorders of consciousness in ICU. Learnt so much. Thank you 😊@CPD_RCOT @theRCOT
Fantastic 2 days @RHNuk on the thermoplastic splinting course. Have learnt a lot and looking forward to utilising these splinting skills within critical care @WHHTTherapy @WestHertsICU @CriticalCareOT @clairecuttingOT

Why do we talk to unconscious patients?
1. Respect
2. Humanize care
3. Comfort
4. Hearing may be preserved
5. Assuage fears
6. Keep them informed of what’s happening
7. Warn them when touched for the purposes of care
Patients are always people.
