“The results of this study confirm that there is an inequity of representation of the allied health professions within senior AHP leadership. It was found that physiotherapists (who account for 25% of registered AHPs) occupy 46% of the Chief AHP roles”

@AnnMarieRiley10 @mjvlewis @drziadin @poulsm90 @drKamarajk @betterageing @BrianwDolan Changed our service @AnnMarieRiley10 on AMU (~6yrs ago) so that we now actively seek our patients for Physio/OT Ax to ensure we assess those with functional decline (within 12 hours of AMU admission) and those who require educating to #situpgetdressedkeepmoving in hosp #MDT

Standing with my Physio colleagues today and over the next few weeks who have made the really hard decision to strike to stand in solidarity with NHS colleagues and bright light to the unfair pay award💙💚🩺🩻🏥 #Solidarity @thecsp

[Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) @thecsp]

NHS physiotherapy staff in England are taking part in strike action over pay for the first time in our history.

Physiotherapy staff have been left with no choice but to strike.
