My flat smells very Christmassy after putting together these mulling spices as little preses for my awesome team!

Combining the interests of Victorian architecture, train geekery, local events and dancing like it’s 1999, we had a blast at the Silent Disco in the Crystal Palace Subway last night ….

Well that @humanists.uk event at The British Library was immensely enjoyable. The new book’s contributor list looks like a dream dinner party list…Tim Minchin, Sandi Toksvig, Paul Sinha, Stephen Fry, Dan Snow, Helen Czerski, Alice Roberts and slightly less expectedly, Frank Turner and Janet Ellis

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

Infographic on neglect dyslexia. The text say: This can involve consistent letter omission, additions, and substitution errors on either the left or right side of a word reading individual words. 61% of people who had a stroke have more difficulties with reading then people of a similar age who had not had a stroke. Treatment can include: sounding out letters phonetically, using technology, speech and language therapy. For example, a word-level reading error (if the left side of your vision was affected) could mean that you read the word "blend" as "lend". There is a picture of an older gentleman sitting in an armchair with a hot drink. It also shows a notebook with part of the text blurred.

Ah damn, the last time my mate invited me to come see you I couldn’t make it… and now you are clashing with both Sandi Toksvig at the Royal Albert Hall and with and Gallifrey Cabaret. It’s a very popular night for cool stuff.

I hope you have pulled through the other side ok or are pulling through. Definitely need to bang the drum to get people to check their goolies/boobies for lumps, check changing moles and take up any screening offered! baggytrousersuk.org/check-your-n...

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.

They put on a great show. If you can also get to see them outside in summer. For me their track A-Punk is the epitome of standing in the long grass, drink in hand, sun going down on a long hit summer day kinda vibe. Enjoy

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.

So where can I learn how to use PRPP? In the UK, we now have our first trainers: www.prpp-uk.com The next course starts tomorrow so you are too late for that, but keep an eye out for more courses in the UK, as well as Australia, Canada, Scandinanvia. I did my intervention course in Switzerland...

#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

Will Chegwidden @willchegwidden.bsky.social · Dec 4

Reposting this thread about PRPP as I know we are getting new arrivals every day. It’s a fantastic, ecologically valid tool for OTs to support their behavioural observation analysis, based on task analysis with both assessment and intervention arms. Take a look Oats…

Will Chegwidden @willchegwidden.bsky.social · Nov 17

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...

Yes the OT/PT/SLT community seem a little slower to join than psychology/neuropsychology/neuroscience/medicine and stroke/TBI seem to be slower than other areas I have connections to like FND and HIV

Have just added @drsamswebb.bsky.social and @kathleenvancleef.bsky.social as two more honorary therapists because of their close work with us :-)

Neuro OT/PT/SLT? Just arrived on Bluesky? Here’s a starter pack

Will Chegwidden @willchegwidden.bsky.social · Nov 17

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
