As part of raising awareness for Stroke prevention I am planning to run 1500 miles this year. # NHS 1500 miles to prevent strokes. Have clocked 160 miles in January. Blood pressure is the major risk factor for strokes. Hence encouraging everyone to get your pressure checked.

This is such a tragic shame for a huge amount of people who benefit from lung volume recruitment. A cheap easy to use and maintain device which is a lifeline for many.

Credit to @NippyVentilator for taking this on years ago & being our supply lifeline - we are forever grateful

@Jodie_Physio @TherapiesatUHNM brew and a biscuit- you know how to do an IST

[Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) @thecsp]

The NHS is losing 15% of physiotherapy staff each year.

We're calling for the government to urgently address recruitment and retention of physiotherapy staff by committing to a fully funded workforce plan now.

Value physiotherapy staff.

Professor Dame Elizabeth Anionwu was the first sickle cell nurse specialist in the UK and devoted her career to working with black and minority ethnic communities.

Today she carried the gold Sovereign Orb in the Coronation Ceremony at Westminster Abbey. 💙

Here are a few top tips for communicating with deaf people:

🧏‍♀️ Always face the person
🗣 Speak clearly, slowly and steadily
🤗 Don’t cover your mouth- so the person can lip read
