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

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.

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:

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.

"For every £1 put into “upstream” NHS services with historically poor funding, including settings such as GPs’ surgeries and wider community treatment, there is a return of up to £14".
The penny just hasn't dropped for politicians driven by short-termism newstatesman.com/spotlight/e…

Pushing radical reform shouldn’t make you a rebel. It’s hard to challenge system leaders who resist change & dedicate themselves to clinging onto old forms of power. Seeing citizens as passive recipients of rationed services isn’t leadership #rebelalliance lgcplus.com/politics/lgc-bri…

“We’ve been almost brainwashed into thinking we have to give our all at work, but we must make sure that we’re not giving so much that it’s impacting other parts of our lives,” - an interesting read from @TeenaClouston, professor of OT at @cardiffuni.

“Illness is neither an indulgence for which people have to pay, nor an offence for which they should be penalised, but a misfortune, the cost of which should be shared by the community.”

One the reasons care homes were disconnected from the CV19 response was setting up “in hospital” & “out of hospital” cells in some integrated systems. Thought at the time this seemed bizarre given the energy spent bringing them together; neighbourhoods & people not organisations. – at North West, England
