OTs that work within #Hospitalathome settings where you target frail older people and maybe only see the patients once or twice - what outcome measures do you use to evidence the value of OT (if any!) COPM is on my list - any others? Royal College of Occupational Therapists UK Hospital at Home Society Shona Ballentyne

Going through hospital at home evaluation and particularly looking at evaluating the OT input. Struggling with how you evidence the quality we add to an individuals life when everything else is so numbers and figures based - this was the reminder I needed this morning!

#OTweek2022 another 'hack' or advice I provide on a daily basis within Hospital at Home. Encouraging people to get up, dressed and doing ADLs during the treatment of the acute problem helps prevent deconditioning.

#OTweek2022 last tweet of the week with my 'hacks' for working within #hospitalathome. Such an important topic for everyone to consider, not just frail older adults, and a conversation all members of MDT can contribute to.

Can anyone who works in #hospitalathome #virtualward recommend some good resources - ideally a leaflet to be given to patients and carers/family on the management of delirium in the community? Looking for something for our service but all I find is inpatient based! UK Hospital at Home Society

This week brings mixed emotions: After 15 years within NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and older people's services, I am moving on to OT NHSLanarkshire. I've worked with a lot of people who have shaped me to be who I am today, everyone has been appreciated. Looking forward to new opportunities in primary care.

It's been great being the OT in this service, supporting people to remain at home with the additional support of hospital based care! As I leave the service, I look forward to hearing how it expands and develops and feel grateful for the small role I've played in implementing it!

Fantastic afternoon at the 'enjoying the wild' group ran by OTs within the local CMHT. Using a variety of activities to restore wellbeing and we all learned some new skills. (*No service users are in these pics) #primarycareOT #meaningfulactivity #valueofOT #morethantoiletseats
