Here’s my idea following Professor Dawn Skelton and @betterageing’s workshop on inpatient deconditioning - a laminated tick sheet to place in patient bed spaces to prompt all ward staff to encourage movement, tick off tasks with wipeable pens, and reduce deconditioning! #BGSconf

[Rachel Leek @racheldphysio]

@go_mclean @woopar @dr_robbie_d @Jdbartlett0703 @wvtmd @jemma_vincent @Leishm1Philippa @LucyFlanagan70 @wellsaXI Sounds good fun! And very beneficial too xx

Considering reviewing our interview technique for Recruitment of Band 5s. Does anybody use any techniques over traditional Q & As? Mixture? Recruitment days? Open to any ideas and keen to have discussions on pros/cons @WestMidlandsCSP @thecsp @TheACPRC @NHSLeader

[Rachel Leek @racheldphysio]

Still looking to network - anyone have a specific inpatient falls rotation? #falls @WestMidlandsCSP @thecsp

[Rachel Leek @racheldphysio]

Looking to network with any other hospitals/physio departments who have a specific inpatient falls rotation for band 5? Thanks!

This is Edna’s first dance in over 30 years.

As part of her physiotherapy to maintain her balance and mobility, the 91-year-old put her goal as ‘to be able to dance again’. Dancing partner, and Physiotherapy Assistant at @CDDFTNHS, Craig helped her do just that.
