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



#OTweek2022 I'll be sharing some life hacks OT use within hospital at home to support an individual in preventing an admission to hospital NHSGGC Occupational Therapy #LifeHacks #OTHacksHome #hospitalathome


#OTweek2022 one of many 'hacks' (or perhaps evidenced based practice) for supporting an individual with delirium at home Royal College of Occupational Therapists NHSGGC Occupational Therapy #OTLifeHacks #OThackshome #OThacks #hospitalathome


#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


Brilliant session for Glasgow City HSCP hospital@home service with Tommy Whitelaw BCAh learning about #intelligentkindness WMTY and civilitysaveslives and even got a wee lesson on using Twitter Inspiring as always thanks Tommy Whitelaw BCAh @ALLIANCECarerVo Realistic Medicine


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.
