A very proud moment - I truly am very grateful to have been given such an opportunity ✨

We hear from physiotherapy students Ysi and Amar about their experience working alongside the office for the Chief Allied Health Professions Officer (CAHPO) at NHS E and NHS I.

Wow I DID IT 🥳 I did it through studying hard, laughter, tears, a pandemic and most importantly I got to do it with @amardhani97 by my side 😆 *Removes 'student' from bio & turns on NHS Jobs notifications

[Amar Dhani @amardhani97]

Recognising my happy list can be utilised during the final day of dissertation editing with my group… Making an apple/blackberry crumble with a 2:1 of crumble to apple because that’s how crumbles should be 😋

Why is it for conditions like sickle cell and autoimmune deficiencies patients have to pay for their prescriptions?

[Ysi Henry (She/her) @Ysi_Physio]

@jstjohnmatthews Yay! Congratulations Janice 🤩🥳

1 of Mine:
Being “complimented” as resilient after having my anxiety discredited throughout my clinical placement (a whole 6 weeks), due to not demonstrating “physical” signs of anxiety

[Ysi Henry (She/her) @Ysi_Physio]

Resilient - A word often carelessly used in practice to describe those (like me) determined to succeed in a degree & profession overwhelmed with discrimination & disproportionate opportunities #studentphysio #BMEstudent @cspbame @thecspstudents

[Ysi Henry (She/her) @Ysi_Physio]

Experiences of “Resilience” welcomed

[Ysi Henry (She/her) @Ysi_Physio]

Listening to @Sjopinion10 on @talkSPORT on #InternationalWomensDay2022 discrediting the challenges the #BME community report to experience within the industry in summary saying "You're not working hard enough" = Ignorance at it's finest 😅

[Critical Care @CSScritcare]

A fantastic teaching session for our staff this morning on ethnic hair and skin care. Ensuring our staff look after all of our patients needs. Huge thank you to @LilMissLeaxox who shared her knowledge this morning and delivered this great session.

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer amongst women under 35, but screening can help stop it before it starts. Protect yourself - attend your cervical screening. Cervical screening saves lives. For more information visit https://t.co/aXpTqu80z9

Dear Twitter, a personal request. My 5yr old son told his teacher that “my friends leave me out because I am the only person with brown skin in my class”. 😢 Teacher asked me what she should do apart from trying to celebrate difference 🤯 Advice welcome. Thank you 🙏🏾

[Arnie Puntis @arnie_puntis]

This was my motivation when I applied for fellowship @NHS_HealthEdEng to use my privilege to create systemic changes. Thank you for inviting me into the space today 🙏🏾@SuzanneRastrick @BeverleyHarden Pleasure to present our work, thinking & amplify the voices of my colleagues

[Amar Dhani @amardhani97]

Nothing screams #mentalhealth like working in the #NHS. #studentphysio

[Ysi Henry (She/her) @Ysi_Physio]

I don’t think the mental health & wellbeing of students is prioritised enough ⚠️ *Says again louder for the people at the back of the room 📣 📣 #studentphysio #londonAHP #studentAHP

[Stephanie Gates (She/ Her) @StephGates_NHS]

Oh my gosh, I am absolutely so proud of you two- that was a total joy to read!!! 🤩✨

This is such a great blog @amardhani97 @Ysi_Physio. We learnt so much from having you spend time with us on placement #AHPsDay.

Shout out @BeesKneesAHPs @helenlycett @louellis_OT Claire 🌟

[Ysi Henry (She/her) @Ysi_Physio]

Definitely an OMG moment! 🤩Wouldn’t have been possible without @jstjohnmatthews @BeesKneesAHPs ✨

[Amar Dhani @amardhani97]

Scrolling on @StGeorgesUni website to login to Canvas, as you do and stumbled across a photo of @Ysi_Physio and I. It was a “omg that’s me” moment! A 4-minute read into our #AHP placement story. https://t.co/B8kkeUmNMg @WeAHPs @SuzanneRastrick #AHPDay #physiotherapy #ProudtobeAHP

[Suzanne Rastrick @SuzanneRastrick]

Happy #AHPsDay to all my fantastic #AHP colleagues in England & elsewhere!

Anyone else feel like their university doesn’t speak out enough about placement burnout, if at all? 🤕 It’s week 4 for me - I’m battling fatigue & fearful of my lack of clinical progression 😵‍💫 Motivational tips welcome 🧘🏽‍♀️ #physiostudent #cspstudent

[St George's, Epsom and St Helier @geshNHS]
