It was a pleasure to present my QI project to the @GMNISDN Rehab Subgroup today. Great way to finish my last day before Maternity Leave. I look forward to further progressing my project upon my return 🥰 #OT #strokerehab #clevertouch #OccupationalTherapy #CognitiveRehab

Thank you to Sakshi, our B5 OT who finished her first rotation in the U.K. today by delivering training to the MDT on Hand Rehab following Stroke. Sharing her experiences from working in India and how we can replicate best practice on @Ward31MRI @MFT_CSSAHPs

It was a pleasure to share how we utilise the #clevertouch to enable cognitive assessment and rehab with Stroke Survivors, whose communication is limited by aphasia at the @MFT_QIT #beebrilliant conference today. Great event and very thought provoking.

Successful OT meeting on @Ward31MRI to establish new working processes for our OT Therapy Groups, in preparation for the new @SSNAPaudit data set. Our @myClevertouch Screen was very useful for our brainstorming session. Well done OTs 💚 @MFT_CSSAHPs

I very much enjoyed sharing my work on how we have used the @myClevertouch to enhance the quality and delivery of Cognitive Rehabilitation on @Ward31MRI at the #NMAHP24 Conference. Everybody was extremely welcoming. Fantastic event! @MFT_CSSAHPs

Identifying a meaningful activity to incorporate into someone’s Stroke Rehabilitation can be challenging at times. Our new Clevertouch provides more opportunities. Here is a 35 year old Stroke Survivor engaging in his Occupational Therapy 💚 Happy OT Week

My patient was disengaging in Therapy and looked really sad. She agreed to come for a coffee, so I took her off the ward. She opened up, despite her aphasia. Then I took her to feel the grass under her feet, she was all smiles. Small pleasures can go along way sometimes.

Cognitive difficulties after stroke are unseen and often misunderstood. When trying to improve someone’s cognition you are on the journey with them. The day you decide they are safe to return home is a special day. Just in time to spend half term with their family 💜 #strokeOT
