Blocks & Ink: Choose your own protagonist

Explorations in speculative fiction and gender neutrality. In October 2020, right at the most depressing and uncertain apoapsis of lockdown, I threaded together some writing prompts that had been floating around in my head for some time and wove them into a happy little collection of (very) short stories.

Compiling a commonplace book using obsidian.md

Taking strings and weaving knowledge using visualisation software. When studying for my undergraduate degree in 2008, I started writing down things my friends said. Funny things, pithy remarks, sweet comments. Meaningful memories. I knew I had trouble remembering them aurally, and writing them down helped. This soon morphed into taking…

What Occupational Therapy can teach us about cycling and “the elderly”

An article and case study combining three of my favourite things: cycling, older adults, and OT. I love bikes. I love riding them, building them, cleaning them, the whole nine yards. The sheer ingenuity of the wheel simply doesn’t get old for me. I also love seeing people get on…

Originally written for The OT Magazine (Jul/Aug 2020) Modern healthcare and (to a lesser extent) social care are hugely augmented by technology.

When a new career doesn’t go the way you expect

Originally written for One HeathTech: a community about diversity, inclusivity, openness, and kindness for under-represented groups in healthtech, healthIT, digital health, biotech and medtech. Let’s talk about career paths. Except, instead of thinking of it as a brick path that you follow, envision it as deliberate steps you take, one…

Better elderly care: what might it look like?

If we all did one thing a little bit more, I think we could make a serious change. I must confess I’ve lured you here under false pretences. Yes, I will absolutely explore what, in my opinion, better elderly care might look like, but (spoilers) it’s not just providing more…

The weird and wonderful world of SNOMED codes

A pseudo-professional quest for the most esoteric socio-medical terms. SNOMED CT is a funny beast. The CT stands for Clinical Terms, and SNOMED (as it’s generally known) is basically a computer-comprehensible language for medical terms. …
