'We need a 7% increase in NHS physiotherapy positions every year to meet rising demand.' @ashjamesphysio appeared on BBC last month.
Neuro rehab, physio advice and AI - read more about physiotherapy in the news in June.
'Reablement, Rehabilitation, Recovery' - a new report from the British Geriatrics Society (BGS) @GeriSoc
It sets out what high-quality rehabilitation looks like, how it should be delivered and explains why it's everyone's business!

Regardless of whether the PM’s speech on PIP and #FitNotes is a political move, words matter.
It feeds the narrative that disabled people and those with long-term health conditions are the problem, rather than inadequate systems of support.
We need to do better than this.
Shockingly, rehabilitation isn't available everywhere in the UK.
Watch the #RehabLegends describe what rehab has meant to them.

Once again, if we want to sort out ambulance delays then we have to sort out the solutions that keep people out of hospital, get people out of hospital and keep people from returning to hospital. The evidence is everywhere! #RightToRehab
Rehab is a right. We need to stop saying that there is ‘no more rehab potential’. Our language matters. Our language creates our reality. We need to ask the patient what’s needed for them, what matters for them. @VMulvanaTuohy#HNYrehab
To all Physiotherapy colleagues who work with #OlderPeople, you do a great job of being generalists & yet be specialists too. You practice holistic care, looking at muscle strength & balance as well as nutrition, continence, etc & making appropriate referrals for out-of-scope identified problems. You take time to listen to your patients' goals - big & small, & do your best to support them to meet them. I think you are super stars. Happy #WorldPhysiotherapyDay2023.
