Hi all,
I am a NQ B5 OT and recently employed in Forensics MH. Is there anyone who works in similar setting and have you got any tips (Books, articles, research, CPD e.t.c.) for someone in my position. I am excited to get started but anxious at the same time 😊. Grazie
if you want ... I have a power point with my pratical for the french student OT
Trust all are well,Recently concluded my Masters in Public Health and still practicing OT in a CAMHS/AMHS outpatient clinic in Dubai.
My Dissertation focused on Assessment of transitioning of young people/young adults from CAMHS to AMHS and interested in pursuing Transistional Care cordinator role in the near future.Looking for literature,contacts or institutions dealing with same.Any leads are appreciated.
Also @Elijah Okall - would you be open to sharing your dissertation here on the Hub? We're sure fellow OTs could benefit hugely from the transitioning perspectives you covered... If so, do drop us an email (hubteam@theOThub.com).
Hello everyone, how are you? I am looking for a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy due to the lack of a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy in any of the Arab countries. Where can I get a scholarship or at which university can I apply for a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy?
Health Sciences University in Bournemouth, Uk is small enough to be personal. Not sure about scholarships though. You’d need to self fund as an international student.
Have you read?...
"If you feel that alcoholics should just stop drinking, agoraphobics should just go out more or anorexics should just have a McDonalds, this probably isn’t the article for you. I’m going to try and explain how to make sense of why people do things that aren’t obviously in their best interests."
Just read it. I guess it would be useful to people new to the MH setting, but it seems a bit obvious to me. Surely as health practitioners, and particularly as OTs, who take a holistic view, it doesn't need saying that we should be non-judgemental, empathic and curious?
Or maybe I'm being a bit harsh?! 🤔
Hello all. If you haven't had a look already, I'd recommend popping over to the Hub's Podcast Portal, to listen to @Keir Harding and Hollie Berrigan's podcast 'The Wrong Kind Of Mad':
'Hollie Berrigan and Keir Harding talk about issues associated with "personality disorder". With a variety of guests who are experts in the field, this is a wry look at the issues around this controversial diagnosis. It can be a bit sweary and we might discuss adverse experiences and self harm.'
@Keir Harding - perhaps you could share your latest blog/article here in the Mental Health OT Circle?
Hi there Gaelle. Interesting introduction. I'm in neurological practice not mental health, but curious about how AI is being used more widely in healthcare. Could you share a bit more about your feelings on how it's being used well, or in ways that concern you?
