As of 10 minutes ago, I am officially a registered physio in the UK and Australia, I cannot wait for my next adventure 🇦🇺🎉

How good is this? 1 week ago fractured neck of femur. Now walking to the day room and playing piano. Brilliant orthopaedic management all round 👏 @Airedaleahps @AiredaleNHSFT consent gained.

[Heather Laws @HLawsPT]

Looking forward to see what the next 6 months will bring!

Said patient loved using the motomed bike in the gym. She wanted to make sure those who weren't able to come down had a chance to have cycling as part of their rehab as she found it so beneficial 🚲

[Airedale Hospital & Community Charity 🧡 @AiredaleCharity]

The lovely Valley View physiotherapists @AGHRehabAThome recently received a mini exercise bike, to be used for patient rehabilitation 🚲

The bike was purchased using funds donated by a former patient 🧡

Despite it causing an absolute parking nightmare on my street, I'm so happy to see so many people going to get their vaccine/booster today 💉

[Heather Laws @HLawsPT]

Positives need to be louder than negatives. I have decided to focus on the positives today. Today, multiple patients thanked me for my input and the impact I have had on their rehab 💪🏻 I will never take this recognition of my work for granted

After spending the last 2 years in the amazing cardioresp team, I am going back onto rotations. I have had the best time and will miss everyone I have worked with, but am excited to see what rotations will teach me @Airedaleahps #respisbest

[Heather Laws @HLawsPT]

@franbinns @Airedaleahps I can't wait to join you! X

A teacher once told me that doing a physio degree would close too many doors for me, despite me deciding I wanted to be a physio at 14. I'm glad I ignored him. It has its tough days, but I have never regretted doing it and I've now been working 3 years in my dream job #WorldPTDay

Rare opportunity to join the best team ever as Band 6 Respiratory Physio #respisbest #respiratoryphysio 🫁🫀

I don't even know how to react to this, just heartbreaking #gotyourbackNHS

[Heather Laws @HLawsPT]

Definitely ready for my annual leave next week after a patient (who I have worked with for weeks) turned to me today and told me I looked rough and asked if I needed to sit down 🤦🏼‍♀️ I told her that I'm off next week and then she understood completely

Following a cancellation last year due to Covid 19, my brother has decided he is still crazy and is hiking the Jurassic Coast in 24 hours for @MindCharity in a couple of weeks, please donate to this great cause 💙 https://t.co/LhOMdoqtfw

Someone giggled at me once when I was doing a deep suction with a patient who was sedated and paralysed, and said 'let's have a cough'. I told them why I said it and that I won't stop saying it, it doesn't matter whether they will cough or not.

[Kelsey @KelseyObGyn]

One time I said hello and introduced myself to an intubated, unconscious patient in the ICU. Someone else scoffed/giggled. I then proceeded to explain to the patient every step of the procedure we did. No regrets.
