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.

'Our members have spoken resoundingly. We have never balloted over pay but physiotherapy staff are now left with no choice. We are short-staffed, overworked, exhausted' @jillyphysio

Really worried that I won’t have as many skills as previous cohorts when I qualify and start as a band 5. I’ve had amazing experiences on placement but the chance to get hands on clinical skills has been reduced due to the impact covid has had on placements.

Being a sportsman I was previously very naive about the scope of a physiotherapist’s work. I only knew about physio’s who worked with athletes and did not know they worked in hospitals and had tracheostomy training. Here the therapist is performing chest therapy on me. (1/3)

Dear @DailyMailUK

Perhaps you’d like to actually meet the dietitians, physios & other ‘non-essential NHS staff’ you refer to - who are in fact essential & frontline throughout the pandemic 🙄😡

Comment & Tweet what you’ve really been doing #AHPs 👍🏼
