Today I took the difficult decision along with my colleagues to strike. Enough is enough we deserve fair pay for the services we deliver to your friends and family. We cannot continue as we are something has to change. #CSP4FairPay#FairPayForAll#savetheNHS
Rehabilitation should not cease when the therapist are not present, we need an MDT approach ⭐️ 12 Steps; the average number of steps a patient takes on a Rehab Ward at the weekend. @BrianwDolan#endpjparalysis
The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.
My first rotation starts next week in T&O! Are there any suggestions of papers or research to look up? All tips gratefully received!! #newlyqualified#physio#band5
My student has been struggling a bit w/ confidence in his exercise prescription/selection.
So I made him a very simplified flow chart.
And now I’m posting it on Twitter cause I think it’s important to remember to not get too “cute” with rehab and remember the basics 💪🏼
Final placement over suddenly this week due to HEE, but my final hours have been logged and my dissertation has been submitted - I am soon to be on the temporary register!! @UoB_PhysioSoc#physiotherapist#newlyqualified#teamNHS
Reflecting after my first 4 long days on placement: 11 hours is a long shift!!! Imposter syndrome is a real thing but communicating and LEARNING helps a lot! First acute adult placement and feeling very privileged to gain this experience before graduation💪#physio#finalplacement
Back to Birmingham today for my final #physio placement - will miss being in the countryside for my exercise, but these final hours won't complete themselves! Ready to join the NHS team again 💪
A median of 5 days on a ventilator led to ICU-Acquired Weakness in 59%. This was associated with short-term loss of independence (dressing, personal care or walking) and prolonged hospital stays. ICU is more than just survival - we need resources to provide #ICUrehab in #COVID19
At this stage of the epidemic we need everyone to stay at home except in specific circumstances.
The NHS depends on us making it difficult for the virus to spread. We all need to make changes. This will be very disruptive but it is essential to keep the community safe.
Dissertation poster complete! Good luck to everyone today @UoB_PhysioSoc@UBSportExR@unibirmingham
My systematic review is looking at whether we can improve postnatal Diastasis Recti with the addition of electrical stimulation. #womenshealth
