@ProfDonnaHall 2) most managers/senior leaders (particularly in the acute settings) were looking to increase their own profile or empire building rather than trying to work collaboratively or thinking outside of their own remit. Was unfortunate as it would have made a real difference.
@ProfDonnaHall 1) I had my fingers burned being naive enough to think that providing evidence and data to show this might lead to a system funded transformation programme around this. Ended up back in social care when it became clear the leaders weren’t prepared to change and …

@CateBennett8 @ARC_EM @LoganPip @fran_allen1 Congratulations Cate. As an OT working as a commissioner in adult social care, I’d love to have a chat about your research and your experience of doing a phd
We are short by 330 OTs per million people in higher income countries @thewfot . This is why community rehabilitation is a priority area for growth @theRCOT . We must address equitably this unmet need.
2.4 billion people worldwide have health conditions that could benefit from rehabilitation. Prioritising #rehabilitation and growing the workforce is necessary to meet increasing global demand, say @sivanmanoj and @ProfNegrini bmj.com/content/384/bm…
Now the Local Government Finance Settlement has been published, I'm going to write a mega-thread on the status of individual local authorities. 1. Havering Council is "on the brink" of a Section 114. It now receives less than £2 million, down from £70 million in 2010-11.
@drandyknox @snowdoniacheese We need to have a #cheesechat then @drandyknox as the pickle power (purple) has always been my favourite
@OT_LauraF Yes, I did it and have ended up as a commissioner (so far) so it’s doesn’t have to lead into a advanced practitioner role
Health isn’t an individual medical issue; it's a social & political one. Hence, population health improves due to collective, not just individual agency, which, in turn, means health improvement requires community building, not signposting or linking of individuals to activities:
Relationship building with communities and people takes time and a concerted effort, a complete shift in culture definitely needs to occur
Public services in their current siloed, organisational not people focussed are fundamentally broken. Attempts like this to “manage” rather than remake relationships with citizens, patients, communities - shift resources to community, prevention & social care will Inevitably fail
Organisations can sometimes lose their soul. The signs? - Looking good matters more than being good - Leaders think they have all the answers - Sceptics are marginalised. - A fake narrative that nobody believes is all that’s allowed. - Leaders become arrogant & never apologise.
@HilaryCottam @RenewalJournal @emilykenway @josdeblok @socfuture @cheekylee23 @KarenMattison @SharedLivesPlus @ProfTimJackson Such a good article which reflects how many working in the care sector would like to progress to
@pritzOT @amyybbond @LSCFT_PulmRehab Well done Ange!
