Once again @elizabethcasson.bsky.social is breaking new grounds funding an exciting new exhibition about occupational therapy. We encouraged Jemma and Sophie to collaborate and look at the result 👇🏻👇🏻. Save the date as we want to see you there but also please share in your networks 👍

Gosh I’m in awe of such incredible work. To get such blended tone as in the flowers is a real skill that’s beyond me! Beautiful

Ready for Year One? It's that time of year when #ots qualify and it's daunting! Don't panic @elizabethcasson.bsky.social has your back. We have lots of online guides and information.

An image of a Bookstart Baby pack including the envelope, a finger puppet, a copy of Baby's Very First Lift-the-flap Peek-a-Boo, and a concertina leaflet. An arrow from the envelope leads to the words: "Every baby born in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is eligible for a free Bookstart Baby pack." An arrow from the puppet leads to the words: "A fun finger puppet." An arrow from the book leads to the words: "An expertly chosen book that's ideal for sharing." An arrow from the leaflet leads to the words: "Helpful leaflet about reading together"

Every baby born in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is eligible for a free #Bookstart Baby pack.

That's because we know how important it is for families to start reading together from the earliest moments.

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!

Thank you Sue. It was a lovely piece of work …… insightful and useful.

"Demystifying Boards and Trusteeship"

Please subscribe to our NewsBlast to get more information: elizabethcasson.org.uk/subscribe/

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.

Ha ha have you spotted my typo 😉👏

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!

A child A book A read A chat. This is the way the mind grows. Not with a test but a tale.

Ahead of the Spending Review, the Local Government Association (LGA) is calling for urgent action to boost the number of Occupational Therapists (OTs) employed by councils to increase community wellbeing, promote independence, and achieve government health goals.

Yes looking to take out quite a bit as lots of evergreens which are ok rather stark and very overgrown. Garden needs softening and more colour I think so 🤞
