Beatson #ActiveWard Drop-in Clinic - @KBooth_PT & Janey share an overview of the implementation, execution & findings from the #Activewards clinic, a drop in service run by the physiotherapy and occupational therapy team at the Beatson. #GGCphysios2024 💃🕺🤸‍♀️

[Charlie Chung @CharlieChung90]

Wonderful to have a 100% attendance demonstrating how great enthusiasm by our staff. One key message - we know greater dosage (no. of reps) relates to greater recovery, and can be considerably increased through self practice and semi-supervised practice with same resource.

[Kirsty Colquhoun @colki1983]

Take a look at the positive impact that @CarlyRolOT is already making to the lives of older adults with cancer. Particularly in the outpatient setting, supporting them to live at home, as independently, active and happy as possible 👇

Really great opportunity! Can’t recommend enough especially if you are looking for a new challenge!

[Jackson Fyfe, PhD @jacksonfyfe]

Strength training confers unique health benefits.

Engaging in strength-promoting exercise was linked with:

- ⬇️ 23% reduction in all-cause mortality

- ⬇️ 31% reduction in cancer mortality

Meeting both aerobic and muscle strengthening guidelines further reduced mortality risk versus meeting the aerobic guidelines alone.
