From today, those experiencing domestic abuse will be able to go into a Boots or indie chemist & seek help. If they say the codeword ‘ANI’ they’ll be taken to a private room & asked if they want to call 999 or domestic abuse helpline. ANI stands for Action Needed Immediately

For those people still going out for non-essential travel, socialising with friends & family and not following the National Lockdown restrictions... please watch this message recorded by one of our colleagues on ITU and ask yourself... “Do I NEED to go out?”

The most consistent advice I’ve given as a NHS therapy manager is you cannot provide perfect therapeutic interventions/rehabilitation during a pandemic

You have to give patients & yourself realistic expectations, have time boundaries & know your physical & emotional limitations

Great to get out and explore what’s on your doorstep!! Now, big Sunday roast pending...

[The Sp⚽️rts Physio @AdamMeakins]

I’ve definitely been heading towards orange here recently!

It’s so important to keep an eye on your mental health these days! And remember to talk to someone if you are feeling overwhelmed!

It’s ok not to be ok! https://t.co/V3kkmQHwIM

✅ helpful reminders

[Adam Dobson @adamdobson123]

Few words to myself around telehealth/consults generally 🤔🤔
1) don't go into a consultation with any perceived expectations or barriers - let the conversation flow were it wants to go
2) Give the patient time to talk, air any concerns - even if you think its irrelevant

"We've actually seen pretty significant progress with him even in the last five weeks. He has been using his cane a lot less, even through the workouts where he used to have to hold on to a post and do any kind of dumbbell work...he's just standing free." https://t.co/WIjP1pUbwx.

[Uzo Ehiogu @consultantPT]

A great infographic on the burden of lockdown restrictions on de- conditioning and muscle performance ..... so an opportunity for those with a expertise to improve population health
