Many thanks to Caoimhe McMahan, an OT Student from University of Galway, who is currently on placement on the stroke unit. She handmade us a "Block & Box test" which can be used as an outcome measure for patients with Upper limb issues post stroke #strokerehab, @uniofgalway
Delighted to have been part of 3 amazing quality improvement and clinical audit projects completed within our acute stroke service this year. These projects were presented at the UHG Academic Office Research Day today. Congratulations to all involved today! @GalStrokeUnit

The Mending HeArts programme takes place every Tuesday on the unit is designed to support people recovering from stroke. Through creative workshops led by professional artists, the programme offers a space for expression, connection, and emotional wellbeing during recovery.
Great day of shared learning in @ot_svuh with @rticonnect on neuromuscular electronic stimulation and how to maximise our device parameters to support and enhance OT/PT motor, sensory and functional recovery goals with our neuro population of patients! @GalStrokeUnit 💪🏋️♀️
That concludes 2 highly productive days of Electrical Stimulation training hosted by the Occupational Therapy Dept @SVUH_ot. Sincere thanks to Matt White&Laurie Magerfleisch from @RTItherapies for sharing their expertise with participants from across the country.#NeuroRehab #FES

Looking for advice/information about setting up an 6 month MDT clinic for stroke patients
Thank you to Niall and Jane for such a wonderful donation that will make such a difference to our acute stroke unit and MDT therapy services ☺️🎉
A massive big THANK YOU to @iniallgalvin and @BallygarTruckin for fundraising €18,000 for the #GUH acute stroke unit. Last October, they organised a fun filled weekend including a truck & tractor run, bingo loco and music events. @HSE_West_NWest
Well done to our pride committee for a wonderful start to celebrations! Shout out to our very own Orla representing the OTs! 🏳️🌈💪

Thanks for your work on this Ronan. I'd add adult safeguarding legislation, as recommended by the Law Reform Commission to that list. We can't continue to rely on the Clare Doyles to speak up, staff and systems must be mandated to report..

The Upper Limb class commenced again on the GUH stroke unit which is an amazing way of increasing intensity and repetitions. Thanks to the Curley family for the new Saebo equipment which they donated.#strokerehab #GUH @DylanOT3, Emma Concannon, Ciara Clarke
