'We're in a crisis situation, not only in terms of the physiotherapy workforce, not only in the service that's being delivered to patients, but in terms of the whole NHS.'
@KMiddletonCSP's message as NHS physio staff prepare to take strike action.
#CSP4FairPay
Please be aware when looking at this article that the majority of our workforce are junior or senior physiotherapists. Consultant posts are extremely limited!!
Supporting the strike today. Over the years I have seen investment into the NHS erode resulting in increased pressures, poor staff retention, difficulties recruiting & the consequential negative impact on patient care. We can't continue to provide the care we want to #CSP4FairPay
NHS physiotherapy staff in England are taking part in strike action over pay for the first time in our history.
Physiotherapy staff have been left with no choice but to strike.
Show your support using #CSP4FairPay.

Today we delivered 360,000 signatures to @10DowningStreet with a letter to @BorisJohnson calling for an end to Vaccine Passports, Mandate and all restrictions by 26 Jan
We want our old Normal back fully @reutersuk
It's crucial @sajidjavid stops the mandate too
@Togetherdec
London Doctor speaks out:
"This would result in the loss of their jobs and the inability to support themselves or their families. It's hardly a fair choice and quick frankly its blackmail."
@sajidjavid@DHSCgovuk - these mandates are simply wrong. Time for a Rethink.
Whether you're vaccinated or unvaccinated the work of @Togetherdec is now more important than ever to ensure we safeguard our democracy for future generations. Please take a look at the huge amount of work they are currently undertaking.
What the actual hell.
If this is happening in your organisation this is WRONG & needs to be called out. Our gyms need to be used for rehabilitation both Face to Face & Virtual delivery. Shame on the trusts that have agreed to this. There is no excuse at this stage in pandemic
We have officially opened a new ITU Rehab study COVID-OR working with @WSHTresearch and @drlhodgson on discharged ITU patients and their rehab outcomes. A lot of very willing and excited volunteers wanting to give back! @MariaCroft11 @AsphCCare @AAniskowicz @NIHRCRN_kss ⭐️👏🏻

This is true of ANY Critical Care Admission NOT just COVID
If community rehabilitation was properly funded this would NOT be a headline

THIS!!! One of the reasons for trying to keep patients moving while they are recovering from COVID-19. Early Mobility increases DC HOME. We must continue to try and mobilize... even though harder than ever! #DOWHATWECAN#Icurehab#earlymobility1#acutept
A little sketch note of our first experiences of chest physio with COVID-19 patients in ICU. It’s nice to see these mirror a lot of others’ findings. The most important things we found have been;
