Speaking with .soman today in preparation for the talk on 27th January has made me think so much more about assumptions and omissions when it comes to offering holistic posture care management. And that is ALWAYS good to reflect on how to improve service provision.

“We want to prevent therapeutic rupture and improve therapeutic bond” for service users with postural care needs.

You don’t want to miss this very informative and thought provoking talk bringing legal knowledge, lived experience and insights together to shape posture care management practice.

We always make so many excuses for ourselves - 'I'm so busy, I'm so tired, I don't want to do it.' You know? 'I'm passionate about it, but I'm not going to be the person that changes things.' Why do we tell ourselves that? We totally could. There are so many people who are making so much change just because they're passionate.
