25 yrs ago today I started a new job @UHBTherapy as a newly qualified physio. Didn’t think I’d still be here now! New building,a gazillion new colleagues, a pandemic &huge changes in practise. I’ve lived here longer than I’ve lived anywhere else but still a southerner at heart!

Happy patient, happy day. Escaping ITU for a few mins.. walking with his #bivad and enjoying a rest to take in the ‘view’ It may be cold but the sun was shining!

It’s raining outside but inside we rehab! Made this patient’s day to be able to cycle with his BiVAD, to make him feel he is doing something “normal” @Tx_VAD_physio @UHBTherapy @UHBCriticalCare #OrganDonationWeek

@EBatchie @MurraySportOrth @docandrewmurray @HipLucie I would have been very interested to hear that talk.. a subject close to my heart (and hips!)

[Anna Ruffle @annaruff09]

My kind of positive feedback 🙊 Always sad when our lovely band 6 physios rotate. They become part of the family!
