"It is almost impossible to lead from sitting on the fence."

Read this powerful blog exploring how history will view physiotherapy professional bodies' neutrality during the Israel-Gaza conflict.

Over 10,000 children in Gaza have suffered at least one traumatic limb amputation in the last 11 months

94,000 injuries

2/3 rehab hospitals destroyed

At least 50 Physiotherapists killed

For professions based on humanity we should never be silent about this #CeasefireNOW 🕊️

In what moral universe can this be the right thing to do: the lower the life expectancy of a local area in 2010-12, the greater the cuts to government funding in the subsequent years. Was this a deliberate policy to increase health inequalities?

[Andrea Wright MSc 🇯🇲🇬🇧🌈💜She/her @IntegraTherapy]

Seeing another valued member of @thecsp renounce their stewards post but also leave their professional body @thecsp
is increasingly concerning.

[Andrea Wright MSc 🇯🇲🇬🇧🌈💜She/her @IntegraTherapy]

@LecturerMish We know why- white supremacy will try to humiliate and make a spectacle of- as a show of power in front of others to witness because it believes it can do what it wants without repercussions or accountability.

[Andrea Wright MSc 🇯🇲🇬🇧🌈💜She/her @IntegraTherapy]

@LecturerMish You know who you are and what you stand for. That's a clarity that people see and want to minimise. Standing alongside you for justice and the right thing. 🫂

>250 health workers allied to medicine have lost their lives in Gaza in the past 6 months

We are holding a vigil in their remembrance on Friday 19 April outside 10 Downing Street at 6pm GMT. This will be a space for mourning & allyship.

[Andrea Wright MSc 🇯🇲🇬🇧🌈💜She/her @IntegraTherapy]

A significant and powerful step to have our professional body @thecsp support equity of care to our trans colleagues and patients.

This is a big step towards our collective freedom. Well done to @csplgbtqia leadership.

Following dialogue involving our LGBTQIA+ Network and Equity, Diversity and Belonging committee, the CSP has adopted our first definitive position statement on transphobia https://t.co/jGqJ8Ry0It

[Andrea Wright MSc 🇯🇲🇬🇧🌈💜She/her @IntegraTherapy]

@thecsp This has been a long process and so good to see our professional body @thecsp stand for equity of care for colleagues and the people we serve. Super well done to the leadership team 👏🏾👏🏾

[AHPs for Humanity @AHPs4humanity]

I've joined with @WeAHPs colleagues in #solidarityfastforgaza to recognise the unecessary need for the death of our physio colleagues who have lost their lives in the ongoing genocide & others whose lives are at risk daily.
