The Chair welcomed Lorna Davies, Occupational Therapist, to the meeting. She gave the following account of her experience during lockdown – “While talking with my colleagues in Occupational Therapy it was illuminating
to hear their unique perspective on the lockdown. At their very core
Occupational Therapists understand the basic human need of purposeful and
meaningful occupations within the roles we play in our lives. So many of us have had a different experience of Lockdown; for some key
roles of colleague, carer, friend, grandparent were ripped from us without
warning, our daily routines and rituals taken over night. For others roles where not taken but added too, many found themselves
grappling with the new role of teacher or carer. Others sought
roles in volunteering, becoming more part of a community and looking after
those that couldn’t do for themselves. If ever there was a time to notice the impact, value and necessity that
meaningful occupation gives our life then lockdown has shone a light on
it. We have all had to get used to a slower pace of life; find new ways to
connect and many people have fond the space to tap into their creative side,
whether that be revisiting a past hobby long forgot or taking up a new pursuit,
the joy and NEED to find a meaningful way to fill our days have resulted in new
musicians, painters, crafters, gardeners, DIY’ers,
bakers, you name it we tried it, and I do hope that when the lockdown
restrictions ease and life goes back to a new normal that our connection with
what makes life meaningful is not something that is forgotten.” The Chief Officer and the Chair thanked Lorna for her contribution on behalf of the IJB and all HSCP Staff. |
