Calling inpatient physios-
What are your trust guidelines on seeing patients with rib fractures?

We complete a chest and mobility assessment for all patients.

I am aware that other trusts will use a screening tool such as STUMBL/ Battle score. Are these effective/ reliable?

I said to one OT at the rehab that I didn't think I would be able to do a show to 100s of children in a theatre again.
She said I would.
This year, I did a show to 100s at the Queen Elizabeth Hall.
A woman with her kids asked me to sign a book.
It's me, she said.
It was the OT.

After 70 days of COVID ICU... our most emotional garden visit ever! These 2 haven’t spent a night apart in 50 years of marriage 🥰
Not a dry eye from pt/wife or staff 😭

Huge thanks to @UHS_CritCare, @UHS_Therapy, site and IPT for making it happen 🙌

A mentor is not someone who walks ahead of us to show us how they did it. A mentor walks alongside us to show us what we can do.

[Mel @mferrisphysio]

Wow really benefitted from this tonight, thank you @FlippinPain!

If anyone’s looking for an interesting talk, this is definitely worth the watch!

Love the car analogy and nail in boot story for understanding pain 🚗

My friend's father is in intensive care and @UHD_NHS gave her this.

I won't lie: I sobbed.
