This is why I train - lifting weights has been shown to improve outcomes after cancer. In #breastcancer it reduces recurrence risk by 50%. No excuses. This is something you can take control of.

[Paula Otter @PaulaOtter1]

Getting tired of hearing ‘No rehab potential’ Just because pts are unable to progress from hoist transfers and/or their cognition is significantly impaired this does NOT = no potential. Huge improvements to be made with quality of life #livingnotexisting What do others think?

Yesterday was a fantastic day for Bill and Team ITU. Bill is our first patient who is now well enough to leave ITU following a difficult 3 week journey being really poorly with COVID-19, and needing some time on a ventilator. We wish him well for his ongoing recovery

What happens when 2 OTs + a Physio Ax an extubated globally weak delirious day 20 COVID patient in ICU? A bed edge sit+a full wash +orientation session that’s what! Starting rehab early can support body and mind rehab! Team work. #ICURehab @CritTorbay @CriticalCareOT @TheACPRC

So good to see physiotherapy being celebrated by the NHS! #WearetheNHS #NHSPhysiotherapy

[Susan Pattison @SusanSPTS]

We have the evidence that rehab is both cost & clinically effective.
NICE guidelines 45mins, 5days pw for as long as required.
As a society we cannot accept it is morally or ethically acceptable to provide no dose or half a dose. #RightToRehab
