This is the reality of disabled people working. This young man was an invaluable part of the team — praised, included, and admired — until his family asked he be paid just a little for years of hard work. Shame on you, @waitrose. This treatment as worth less gets internalised.

OT has been changing lives for over a century ✨ From World War 1 to today, it’s all about helping people live better 🌍 #worldoccupationaltherapyday25 #OTInAction

This occupational therapist fully agrees! Participation in activity that’s meaningful for you can be powerful, we’re here to address barriers that interrupts that from happening ✅

The DWP says they've learnt from their communication mistakes so why are their email and texts so urgent and aggressive? 1. Not everyone has access to internet or a smart phone. Telling someone to do something straight away causes stress & anxiety. 2. Why is there no link? Some

I attended a quarterly forum where the NHS, local authorities, charities and people with lived experiences of mental illnesses were presenting and giving feedback. Definitely gave me food for thought about access, support and care from mental health professionals' perceptions.

The way we talk about #diabetes and the language we use is critical to end stigma, blame and shame. 💙 Be inclusive. 💙 Be kind. 💙 Be respectful. The right words go a long way ⬇️

Man on @BBCBreakfast saying SUVs should be banned, mate how do I get my wheelchair in the boot of a small car?! I can’t. Disabled people exist and we deserve a right to use a vehicle that fits our needs.

This could be very disruptive indeed

'Rehabilitation, recovery and independence depend on access to the right equipment for the right help at the right time.' We are deeply concerned by reports of imminent collapse of NRS Healthcare, a leading provider of healthcare equipment for patients. https://t.co/uTjNec7BFy

I spoke to @itvlondon about the planned closure of the Northwick Park hydrotherapy pool Losing access to hydro means many will lose access to rehab entirely. Worsening pain, disability & deepening health inequalities Hydro isn’t a luxury. It’s essential 🎥 #Hydrotherapy #Rehab

Been in hospital 24 hrs. Still in clothes I arrived in; haven’t brushed my teeth or been able to as medical assessment is basic. Have explained accessibility needs, and have had to push to locate the accessible toilet! No offer of help to shower, or given washing facilities.

A disabled man has chosen to stop taking life-saving medication because it is too hard to get health and social care This is the system we're introducing assisted suicide into. Are we ashamed yet? https://t.co/k38DO0Cv32

A mum & her disabled daughter who were left dead for ‘weeks or months’ could have been saved if an ambulance was sent when the mum called, a coroner says. Mum Alphonsine died of pneumonia while her daughter Loraine died of malnutrition & dehydration. RIP 🙏🏾 https://t.co/Ms8fjLB9H9

#Oliverscampaign A dying mother called 999 pleading for help yet no ambulance came Her body went unnoticed for months alongside the body of her disabled daughter who had been left alone & helpless This is what happens when systems fail the most vulnerable

Do #retail shops train their staff about hidden disabilities and the sunflower lanyard?

So, my occupational therapy today. I washed and dried a load, separately. I emptied a dishwasher and put the contents away. In other news, I can shower and dress myself. I long since have needed neither nappy nor catheter. I can get into a car. And I can walk again, unaided. I/2

@CeeCeeOT @nuwandiss And untreated physical health problems make mental health problems worse and vice versa.
