I’m honoured to have been offered an interview for a PhD studentship. I’ve never been to an interview like this. There’s a presentation, plain language summary and competency based interview. Obviously I’m really nervous. Any tips? πŸ€”

Rainbows around the moon last night. My phone didn’t pick up the colours sadly but still beautiful. After such bad weather, this was lovely to see. Although apparently, it tends to happen when there is likely to be another storm so yay! πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I got an email about this this morning. Although not specific to occupational therapy, each webinar applies to our practice. I’m going to a few of these and thought I’d share ☺️.

HDS - Global The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a discreet sign that the wearer has a hidden disability and may need additional support

Whilst on my recent once in a lifetime trip, I decided to wear a sunflower lanyard because of my invisible disabilities. It made my air journeys to/from major airports significantly less stressful. Highly recommend should you feel comfortable identifying yourself in this way.

I recently had the incredible opportunity to go to New Zealand. A major personal milestone health wise. A once in a lifetime trip which absolutely did not disappoint.
