On behalf of some people today feeling low😉.I am not generic I did not study the profession of generic, my set of skills are unique, I can personalise to the individual. I see the ‘person’ and what matters to them. I am an asset to the team. I am an Occupational Therapist.

This festive season, #CheckIn on friends, neighbours and relations that live alone.
#Loneliness and #isolation can lead to #depression which can cause a decline in physical health. #ReachOut if you think someone needs a friend. Loneliness can – and does – affect anyone. #AGEUK

Has anywhere withdrawn falls monitors from their clinical area? We are exploring the possibility @LincsCommHealth Does using them decrease the incidence of falls? Would love 2know if anyone has any evidence either way or withdrawn falls prevention monitors @FabNHSStuff @RoyLilley
