Loneliness is the story of far too many older people. It's crippling, can be life-limiting and it's time to change this. And we can. Together.

Today it's AHP day, we are so lucky to have a wealth of AHPs within our team - 3 of our trainee ACPs (Physiotherapist and Paramedics), our OTs and our TAP and ATAPs who are dual OT and Physiotherapy. What a great job they do! #AHPsDay #AHPsinadvancedpractice
