Excellent to hear from @KNicholson73 in yesterday's AHPs in Public Health Webinar. Some really impactful work happening in Glasgow supporting people to stay safe and independent in their own home whilst reducing costs in the health and social care system. Well done Kirsty! 💚

So pleased to see this project is now live and delighted that @jillpritchard5 is part of this collaboration. Poor housing can be detrimental to people's health and wellbeing and Occupational Therapists can offer the solution to many of these challenges. Read more via link below🔽
🏠 Our homes can help and hinder us in our daily occupations.
All OTs should consider how people’s homes impact their lives. We're working with @FoundationsHIA and Closomat on the Housing Without Delay project to support OTs to embed housing in their practice.

Something that @theRCOT @RCOT_PolicySco would support to happen? Perhaps a consensus document but for occupational therapists in Scotland?

If you take functional seizures seriously and provide treatment then you can reduce emergency costs - probably by more money than you need to actually give the treatment.
Thanks Laura Strom and Meagan Watson for telling me about your program in Colorado
