This is disgusting. I am livid.

The police officer remains in his post despite admitting assault by beating.

And he got let off community service too. His lawyer argued he shouldn’t have to do it as it would be “difficult” for him to work with criminals. https://t.co/pJU4INEgbR

Vaccinated a man today- when I told him I’m an SaLT he said: “You have no idea how much I respect your profession. I’m a throat cancer survivor and your colleagues saved my life. You gave me my life back when I had to relearn how to swallow. You’re truly underrated” ❤️ #mySLTday

So proud!!🌟

@dan26wales So happy for you guys!!🎉

Was doing some research on delirium and came across this - a fascinating look at the experiences of patients with delirium and how we as healthcare professionals can respond in a caring and compassionate way https://t.co/UgdlFlmVt3

And that concludes my first rotation as a band 5 physio in @LivHospitals! Been a rollercoaster of emotions, full of learning, plenty of ups and downs and everything in between! Couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with, so excited for the challenges ahead! ☺️

[Niamh Hughes @niamhhphysio]

@misstroll @dan26wales Oh how I love to rain on the doctors’ discharge parade!😂

[Niamh Hughes @niamhhphysio]

So sad to be leaving such a welcoming and supportive ward! They truly have made my first rotation as a qualified physio an incredible experience full of learning 😊 Onto the next challenge!

[Niamh Hughes @niamhhphysio]

@dan26wales Awww thank you so much Dan! I’m going to miss you guys, and the ward itself, so much! But not as much as I’ll miss the classically vague “PT/OT” plan 😂

Now, this is a story all about how
My training got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became redeployed in crit care.

[Niamh Hughes @niamhhphysio]

@dan26wales This is why I’m in love with the concept of ICB! Wish I could refer all patients there 🙌🏻

Always nice to see a positive attitude towards AHPs...

[physiotalk @physiotalk]

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 👍🏼

Amazing!

Just made a new #rehab splint to work on proprioception and wrist ROM, turns out I can find a use for that garden wire in the garage! #occupationaltherapy #handtherapy

Should gyms become an essential service if we go to lockdown?
