@Laracapybara @UHS_Therapy Completely understand and agree - this is where the whole MDT needs to help one another, it's not just one person's job to rehab! We start with any small glimmer of activity we can and build ❤️

[Pippa Draper @PippaDraper]

'Culture eats data for lunch' As an MDT we desperately need to find our way back to a culture of rehab in acute hospitals!!!! @UHS_Therapy #BGSConf #rehab
