This wk Ive been joining some of the final sessions of @elizabethcasson.bsky.social Personal Development Leadership prog. It’s humbling to hear the impact that this prog has on OTs leadership growth. Not just increased confidence but recognition of their value in our profession. Incredible!

Once again a brilliant board meeting of @elizabethcasson.bsky.social trustees. I come away from meetings reinvigorated & optimistic for OT as we have approved a number of new initiatives & continuation of others. Thank you all ….but also to our operations team for all they do. More to come!

I joined the NHS in 2014 to help dismantle a NHS org created two years before. We largely spent three more years dismantling other bits before being dismantled ourselves. The sheer amount of money wasted on yet more reorgs to cover up the flaws of the last one is a national disgrace.

10 YEAR PLAN - Vision So many folk are going wrong with criticising the Plan as not being a "plan". It's a vision piece, exactly what you want from a government led piece. Here's why: Vision -> Strategy -> Delivery Confusing them results in rubbish outcomes. 1/4

Yesterday I made a day trip to NI to meet the fab @martinaot.bsky.social to record a pod cast at her #SeatingMatters studio. We talked all things OT, @elizabethcasson.bsky.social career development, networks and our passion for our profession. It was defiantly a putting to rights conversation 👏

Off to Belfast. I wonder what that’s about? May involve a pod cast 😉. Flights late of course 🤷‍♀️. More later.

Please can you help? We need some more responses here!

Very proud to know @avrildrummond1.bsky.social An OT who has taken her knowledge into stroke rehab world in such a significant way & done so much to support rehab. A great trustee for @elizabethcasson.bsky.social too. A well deserved honour delivering this lecture - thank you for all you do Avril

MS diagnosis = detective work 🔍 Early symptoms mimic other conditions. Key insight: lesions "disseminated in time & space." Early diagnosis improves outcomes significantly. Free learning from Physiopedia 👉 https://www.physio-pedia.com/Multiple_Sclerosis_(MS) #Physiopedia #MultipleSclerosis

Brilliant point about ‘speciality’ 👏👏👏

Moved from Suffolk to Buckinghamshire 3wks ago to another beautiful village. I’m hoping one of my friends here can identify this tree. It sits just outside our garden wall and I think it might be a Rowan. 🤞as if it is then might have lots of red berries in the autumn 🐦‍⬛

VE Day in London!!!!

Really classy Daily Mirror front page on the 80th anniversary of VE Day. This Philip Zec celebrated cartoon was in the paper on this day in 1945

VE Day 80 years Peace Rose May we never forget...

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

A final brief glimpse inside the Hong Kong Art Gallery. I must go back one day. The quote on the wall in the first says "The purpose of art is to make the invisible visible." In Mandarin and English. #art

80 years ago Britain declared a national holiday to celebrate the surrender of Nazi forces in Europe. Today we celebrate their victory and remember the countless sacrifices they made to deliver it. The London Museum has this excellent piece about that day: londonmuseum.org.uk/collections/lo…
