I had my ITU patient doing squats and lunges today!
His words were ‘’I thought the gyms were shut’’. 😂 this is ITU gym is very much open. #covid #rehab #physio

@JennyMeadows800 You walked past me at the Port! I thought I recognised you! Have a great break! X

🆕 ICU survivors are being failed. 7 in 10 get no rehab screening. Almost half are never referred for follow-up.
Physios are ready to deliver rehab. But the system is failing them - and their patients.
It’s time to fix the gaps in care.

All physios working in the UK: Please consider completing this survey as part of my MSc project exploring the impact of CPD on physiotherapy careers. Should only take 5-10 minutes, please share! Thanks in advance! https://t.co/W0jWIA3oXS Info sheet: https://t.co/KV8GVv7r5p

I am undertaking a QI project on dysphagia screening in Critical Care and keen to understand the views of other SLTs/current practices.
I would be really grateful if SLTs working in critical care could complete this questionnaire by 21/5/25. Thank you!😀

Do any resp physios have experience of teaching parents how to NP suction? Is NP suctioning something that is routinely completed in the community setting? Thank you

[Annie @AnnieForTruth]

He got off the train, he belted out some backwards doll gobbledygook, he threw himself into the foliage, he gave Frankie his coins, he was always incredibly polite and respectful, he was the ultimate team player. 👏
