Scotland needs more physios.
The latest survey of members in Scotland reveals a worsening workforce crisis, and a devastating impact on services and patients.
We are calling on the Scottish government to take action now before this crisis gets worse.

This week, we had a very special visit from Hugh Bonneville and Paddington Bear. The pair surprised patients at the @RHCGlasgow and treated them to a special screening of Paddington in Peru at the in-hospital Medicinema. 🐻 ❤️

This is literally why #NHSfunding for rehabilitation after any sort of critical illness cannot be an after thought. Organ support, drugs & acute care saves lives - access to rehab saves people.
Thanks for sharing your journey #rehablegend

This is Kelsey, a 5-year old Golden Retriever.
On New Year's Eve, Kelsey's owner Bob went outside to collect some fire logs, but he fell on the ice and broke his neck. He was paralyzed and nobody could hear him, but Kelsey came running immediately.
When Kelsey realized he couldn't move, she spread herself out across his body to keep him warm. She stayed there for 20 hours, in frigid temperatures, and kept licking his face to ensure he didn't lose consciousness. She kept barking for help the entire time.
When doctors eventually found Bob, they rushed him to hospital with hypothermia, atrial fibrillation, and two herniated discs which were causing his paralysis. Amazingly, he had no frostbite. Doctors say it's because Kelsey kept him warm the entire time.
Kelsey is a good girl.

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.

After Mum's heart attack yesterday, I am putting this out there.
Heart Attacks present differently in Women, and if my Dad hadn't acted as quickly as he had, things may have been a very different story today.
