Thank you to Robyn for inviting me to deliver a cognition session to the @nhsforthvalley.bsky.social occupational therapists at Strathcarron Hospice. It was wonderful to work with such a dedicated and experienced group of clinicians. I enjoyed the conversations about such interesting examples.

Changing practice is difficult. Read examples of practice changes reported by clinicians who attended a face to face balance workshop last year.

We'd appreciate hearing examples of how people have changed their practice in accordance with evidence.
