I’m honoured to have been offered an interview for a PhD studentship. I’ve never been to an interview like this. There’s a presentation, plain language summary and competency based interview. Obviously I’m really nervous. Any tips? 🤔

Online. Free to attend.

Rainbows around the moon last night. My phone didn’t pick up the colours sadly but still beautiful. After such bad weather, this was lovely to see. Although apparently, it tends to happen when there is likely to be another storm so yay! 🤦🏻♀️
I got an email about this this morning. Although not specific to occupational therapy, each webinar applies to our practice. I’m going to a few of these and thought I’d share ☺️.

I am very pleased to share my first ever academic publication. A big achievement for me.
‘The Meaning of Travel: An Exploration within the Baby-boomer Generation’ (OTJR).

Spoiler: Travel is important and can have therapeutic and economic potential.

Whilst on my recent once in a lifetime trip, I decided to wear a sunflower lanyard because of my invisible disabilities. It made my air journeys to/from major airports significantly less stressful. Highly recommend should you feel comfortable identifying yourself in this way.

I recently had the incredible opportunity to go to New Zealand. A major personal milestone health wise. A once in a lifetime trip which absolutely did not disappoint.
Always a joy to see ☺️.
