Lovely morning yesterday at our walk2health walking group. Finally some warmer weather 🙌

We had some newcomers who all did brilliantly🙌

Today we have submitted this QI project to the @UKStrokeForum as an abstract.

The NHS is losing 15% of physiotherapy staff each year.

We're calling for the government to urgently address recruitment and retention of physiotherapy staff by committing to a fully funded workforce plan now.

Value physiotherapy staff.

Professor Dame Elizabeth Anionwu was the first sickle cell nurse specialist in the UK and devoted her career to working with black and minority ethnic communities.

Today she carried the gold Sovereign Orb in the Coronation Ceremony at Westminster Abbey. 💙

[Amanda Pritchard @AmandaPritchard]

It was an extraordinary honour to represent the NHS at the Coronation service.

Many colleagues were also part of this historic occasion, reflecting the respect and admiration the Royal Family has for the NHS and the work our dedicated staff do.
