Language is important. Documentation is important. The people we work with are important. But with all these "important" factors splitting our focus, have we lost the point?

Zara Mills is an RN with extensive experience in mental health and a passion for improving nursing and healthcare in general. We talk often about the language used in health care and the throw-away terms and conversations had by health professionals that have a profound impact on those we work with....without us even realising it.

I'm super glad we got to have one of those conversations on the podcast to share with you all.

An episode discussing how therapists can make this transition to telehealth more successfully in this ever changing world we are currently in.

In recent times I've come across some absolutely amazing OT private practices. Becoming an entrepreneur is rapidly becoming a valid career progression for OT's around the world and I suspect that in this current health climate the potential of going into private practice will become more and more enticing, but how is that someone can develop a truly unique and innovative practice? The first step is about developing the mindset required to turn your idea into reality.

Stay safe. Stay home. Keep learning. Share the love with your colleagues. #happyaprilfools

Tattoo's and tattooing has become somewhat mainstream in western culture today and we, as therapists, will work with tattooed individuals every day. But how many of us have actually considered them through an occupational lens?
