@NuffieldHealth Not sure I can unless you’ve followed me . My understanding is that the programme was designed in October … seems general rehab based with some covid additions … I think more is known about PEM , dysautonomia, GET in relation to long covid

[Alison bain @AlisonbainSLT]

@Saralongcovid @mar1a_t @NuffieldHealth @ScotGovFM @HumzaYousaf I’m just starting week 3 too … opposite for me … i felt really ill last week with PEM , no response to my GET queries . Not loving it . Do however love @suzybolt 360 mins body soul long covid recovery #FBLC

@HaulerLong There’s a study currently at university of Alabama for this exact thing … neuroplasticity exists - it’s used in stroke rehab - this makes sense for those with long covid and cognitive issues . However the study is the first in world and hasn’t finished .

@j_b_kennedy Yeah … still 16 months into it and the dreams are crazy

@NadiaTetrault Now true person centred care would have ensured you had non lactose foods

@gezmedinger @doctorasadkhan @PutrinoLab Thankyou very much for this … all your podcasts have been good but this one really strikes a chord . Considering U.K. prides itself on LC clinics etc … we are so far behind in terms of rehab that is successful . I think all baselines here include sit to stand /6 min test 🤯

@lifeoftazza You’ve got a separate pay scale /negotiation format for doctors and dentists

[Alison bain @AlisonbainSLT]

@AmyHird5 Great … I think SLTs and pharmacists should be working together more often … controversial view I know !

[Alison bain @AlisonbainSLT]

@swbh_slt Looks like a fabulous resource . Could be useful in community too with SW risk assessments… is it available for use/adaption 🤞

[Alison bain @AlisonbainSLT]

@hoepner_jerry @TomSatherSLP Thx . They must be away as can’t see pdf logo . Can’t DM you I think unless you follow me . Thx again

@HopeShiloh2 Isn’t it lovely that within an hour so many people have got in touch to show they care … you’re not invisible. ❤️‍🩹

[Alison bain @AlisonbainSLT]

@eveosh @Rmannoh Is it unpaid or extra duties in addition to those you’re paid for ? Ie to be expected at your grade ?

[Alison bain @AlisonbainSLT]

@darrenabrown @physiopedia Well done Darren … I’ve seen lots of your podcasts and on @gezmedinger . Delighted you have appropriate professsional recognition - but even more so that you’re back at work and managing well

[Alison bain @AlisonbainSLT]

@MaryGR65 @ontapphysio2 And sadly who knows how your retirement will be .

[Alison bain @AlisonbainSLT]

@MaryGR65 @ontapphysio2 Yeah I think it’s same everywhere… Drs gone . There are LC HR and Occ Health teams being set up . In s as way it’s worse for other LC people not in NHS - no covid leave etc

[Alison bain @AlisonbainSLT]

@MaryGR65 @ontapphysio2 They’re not under a duty now if you’ve put in notice . I am sorry Mary it’s not a nice feeling - they may also be relieved no mention of ‘industrial injury’ comp etc etc . That’ll start happening I’m sure of it

[Alison bain @AlisonbainSLT]

@MaryGR65 @ontapphysio2 It’s the covid policies apparently… more support than usual sick leave …. I’ve been off since early April 20 too

[Alison bain @AlisonbainSLT]

@MaryGR65 @ontapphysio2 Well done Mary … nurses can go at 55. Shame they didn’t think to Thankyou for working longer than ‘needed’ to / years of contributing to NHS etc . Rubbish way to end career . Suspect you’ll not be only one to leave with LC
