This is lovely. When my daughter was about 5 she was asked what she wanted to be when she grew up and she answered, in all seriousness, "a butterfly". She has instead grown up to be an Occupational Therapist. @profaliceroberts.bsky.social

Sharing my childhood dream to be a horse has been revelatory and joyful! Lots of people have admitted a similar ambition; others wanted to be cars, fire engines or even a potato when they grew up! www.instagram.com/p/DJ43PrQs8k...

Staggering cost to UK economy of ABI, and these are just the easier costs to count. Please share, ABI should be a public health priority, we could save money and improve lives and outcomes at the same time. @babicmorg.bsky.social cdn.ymaws.com/ukabif.org.u...

Interesting article about what ABI rehab services need to do/need to be. Particularly theme 3) "well-connected and having a central coordinating role" this is logical and is the antithesis of silo services with no one overall coordination role over the long term www.publish.csiro.au/IB/IB24056
