A very big thank you to Catherine Bowdler for sharing your morning with me and a very small part of what is involved being a @cwpnhs complex case manager from MDT to patient visits. A humbling and valuable insight and good chat too about improvement opportunities.

@joanne_inman @TimWelchCWP@cwpnhs@WeAHPs@haydon_clair@SatLotay@AnushtaS@GemRatcliffe79 Thank-you so much for the opportunity... Any excuse to get on my soapbox and talk everything physio & therapy related. Great to listen to all the other AHP’s & learn about their roles within CWP 💪😃

We didn't have quiz nights
We didn't have champagne
We watched our colleagues die though
We were STEEPED in death

I work as an emergency doctor in the NHS but can only save lives if I work alongside my 'skilled' colleagues, including nursing assistants, carers, porters and domestics. If they are asked to "retrain and get better paid jobs", there would be no NHS and no care. Simple!
