“One of the most rewarding things about my job is seeing patients begin to trust food again. “Every time a patient gains weight safely, avoids refeeding complications, or feels heard in their food choices, I know I’ve made a difference.” Oluchukwu, specialist dietitian #AHPsDay

Our dietitians, occupational therapists, physios and speech and language therapists came together to celebrate #AHPsDay. The event focused on three key shifts—hospital to community, treatment to prevention, and analogue to digital - with colleagues presenting ideas on how to support these.

It’s Allied Health Professions Day in recognition of the 14 specialist AHP roles across the NHS. On Arden ward, patients created this banner about occupational therapy and the coping strategies that help to prevent relapse and readmission. #AHPsDay
