We've written to the Minister for Disabled People, Health and Work, Tom Pursglove, calling for more occupational therapists in primary care. They'll play a vital role in alleviating the current challenges on workforce retention due to health reasons. loom.ly/6u6XaqU

Excellent morning of talks so much to reflect on! Helen Langford & Paul Hartwell Cardiff University certainly made me think about unconscious bias in education and the development of case studies for teaching and learning #RCOT2024

Great presentation from Dr Gemma Bradley Northumbria Uni sharing findings from a qualitative research study exploring occupational therapists involvement in social prescribing #RCOT2024

Social prescribing is gaining traction in primary care and traditional medical models. Gemma Bradley's (OTNorthumbria) study found that OTs have varying levels of involvement but a positive outlook on the future alongside social prescribing colleagues. #RCOT2024

'This is blowing my mind! ๐Ÿคฏ' - how we all feel after Professor Michael Rowe's eye-opening plenary on using Generative AI. A tool that can be powerful but only in collaboration with us (humans!) - don't ask AI to do the work for you, ask it to help you do better work. #RCOT2024

Reflecting on yesterdayโ€™s #RCOT2024. Iโ€™d lost my enthusiasm and motivation for research but the research geek in me is feeling inspired and motivated. So much to consider in relation education - unconscious bias in case study design and AI to name just a few.

Weโ€™ve been updating our OT noticeboard. Hopefully providing seasonal ideas for activities for staff and students. Most recent addition is some OT tunic and trouser bunting made out of a pair of my old work trousers by my very talented retired OT mum @UCLan #OTLecturers #Wellbeing
