I have started a pack for neuro and stroke OT/PT/SLT, to make it easy for people landing. There are some other great more general neuro/neurorehab packs, but this is just to help people landing. Using "neuro" in it's broadest sense and have included some "honorary" AHPs

Reading difficulties after a stroke are common. One type is neglect dyslexia. People misread words because they are not aware of the first or last letters of the word. Read more: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20714712/ Infographic by Bella Belbali

Hearing about L1 psychological support at #UKSF24.
Hearing lived experience - “good psychological support lifts me up a bit, helps me to thrive. Bad psychological support can knock me down miles.”
Words have a profound impact +everyone should have L1 Psych Support Training.

Inspiring to hear about a wide range of improvement projects at the Bart’s Therapies cross site Clinical Effectiveness afternoon today. Packed agenda, included Frankie and Poppy from our TH Community Neuro team, here with their development of a new #FND pathway. Lots to build on and share.

#OT #occupationaltherapy #Oats I love that I have only just noticed that autocorrect changed OTs to Oats in this post. I think that’s what I’m going to call us going forward. #RCoats

If I had to choose one tool that has informed my practice as an OT it is the PRPP (Perceive, Recall, Plan, Perform) System. In neuropsych terms it is framework for OTs to use for behavioural observations,formulation and treatment. www.occupationalperformance.com/the-perceive...

Dr Vancleef doing some lovely short infographics on common visual perceptual and visual cognitive topics. Agnosias: often overlooked. know your aperceptive versus your associative agnosias :-)
Difficulties with recognising objects is not unusual after a stroke. It can help to think of the visual system as an hierarchical process to understand what exactly is challenging for a patient, but the debate is ongoing.

I’ve put a couple of threads up about useful things from career - articles, websites, courses, people to follow. As people keep joining will periodically repost them. This one was on ADULT ACQUIRED LIMB APRAXIA.
For a long time there has been a move away from describing #apraxia in terms of ideomotor/ideational and instead looking at more useful clinical terms. If you are going to read one article on apraxia, make it this one by Dr Elisabeth Rounis www.ahajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

Today one of London’s Overground lines officially becomes the Mildmay Line.
In the 1980s, before effective treatment, the Mildmay Hospital pioneered AIDS care.
In 1987 Princess Diana famously shook hands with a patient there, a small gesture of solidarity which made front pages across the world.
