And just like that, 4 weeks of being newly qualified has flown by!

With the below freezing temperatures had to get myself a personalised fleece jacket for work #nqot #newlyqualified #occupationaltherapist #band5ot

First day back in the new year & I managed to see all patients on my caseload before afternoon. Managed to complete notes before end of day. Also first time I actually felt confident for the day as an occupational therapist. Good day to start the year ☺️

Today was the day where everything just clicked out of nowhere but typical that I have 1 week left of my 1st rotation then on to the next, back to feeling new again 😂 4 months NQ’d has flown!

Last week I finished my first rotation on the Vascular team and was kindly gifted. Such a great team to work with, learn & develop as a NQ occupational therapist with SpLD Countess of Chester Hospital therapy teams 💙 Couldn’t of asked for a better first rotation. Thank you! 🥹

Discharge visits love throwing curveballs on the day

2nd rotation completed as a NQ Occupational Therapist ✅ On to the next starting Monday 💪🏾

Really looking forward to be starting my next rotation in Neuro tomorrow. My last placement was in Stroke Acute & Rehab when I was doing my MSc & I absolutely loved it! It’ll be interesting to see how much I’ve remembered & apply in practice ☺️

I second this! 2:2 over here too!

Part way through my masters I was diagnosed with ADHD & specific learning disabilities. It was difficult, I failed many modules & it took a knock on my confidence. I graduated with a 2:2. I’m now 8 months in NQ. Your degree classification DOES NOT define you! ❤️

Wow wow wow! 1 year post qualified as an occupational therapist! What a year already! 1st year of rotations boxed off: Vascular ✅ Intermediate care ✅ and Neuro ✅ Next rotation starting on Monday……HANDS!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

2nd day on my Hands/Rheumatology rotation and one the senior therapists created this with crackers, palma-a-ham (parmaham, lol get it)& cheese. I feel like this is giving Halloween vibes 🙌🏾 🎃 Countess of Chester Hospital therapy teams 💙

Finally accessed my account again. Long time no see!

Oooeee it’s been about 8 months…honestly I forgot I had this account & when I remembered I forgot my details to get in & then I forgot about this account again…but now I’m back! 🙌🏾

On a serious note this is a great visual aid for people to acknowledge and bring more awareness on why wheelchair accessibility is important.

Your friendly reminder to keep your CPD up to date 😌
