A new era for QMC @NUHCriticalCare @NUHTherapies

From tomorrow, Therapy Support Workers will offer rehab to our CC patients 7 days a week.

A long time coming but we did it @Romessss @AdamCritCareOT @Lozrie @KBoyce_Physio @LinfordSarah excited and proud is an understatement!

[Romy Idle @Romessss]

@Bec_storer Merry Christmas! 🥂 hope it was a quiet night!

[Romy Idle @Romessss]

@CatGoodin @nottslive @Bec_storer I'm in, as long as you don't expect any form of sophistication from me

[Romy Idle @Romessss]

@CatGoodin @fisioprecoce I just saw this and my mouth dropped 🤣😮

[NUH CritCare CNEs @NUHCritCareCNE]

To all of our physio colleagues on Critical Care who we all love and adore! You are cherished and we love working alongside you. You make a difference to our patients and we really appreciate it!

2. And once we told her that actually he is just a 6 year old boy who is allowed to choose the colours he wears, she went gossiping about Rohan in fact being a boy, not a girl to her colleague. Really upsetting and unprofessional @JohnLewisRetail 😡

[Romy Idle @Romessss]

1. So disappointing that I've had such a negative experience whilst school shoe shopping today @JohnLewisRetail first the assistant made the assumption Rohan is a girl because of his hair and he likes the colour pink (wore pink socks)...

[Rebecca storer @Bec_storer]

Celebrating #IntensiveCareWeek21 the QMC physio team @NUHCriticalCare absolutely rock it! 11 rehabs smashed today, smiling patients and therapists all round! That’s why we love working in critical care!

@SLTCWilliams @NUHCriticalCare My favourite moment all week! 😁

[Romy Idle @Romessss]

@SLTCWilliams Thank you. Oh no! It was so scary, I dont blame you! Glad you got there ok x

[Romy Idle @Romessss]

The irony of "staying alive" on the radio in COVID ICU is about all the joy I've found today.
FYI crashing your car on the way to work is not the best way to start the week...

Hate COVID.
Hate snow.
Hate Mondays.

[Romy Idle @Romessss]

@CatGoodin Thanks, we are fine. Luckily i was still on my street so going v slow, just lots of ice and lost control. Hope you are ok! 🤒

[Romy Idle @Romessss]

@kirstyvic @NUHCriticalCare @NUHTherapies It was such a relief to see you on shift and have your kind words at 5am 😍😴 you are the best xx

[Romy Idle @Romessss]

Completed my first 12 hour night shift on @NUHCriticalCare Whilst I'm used to working on ITU, it felt daunting not being there as a physio. V lucky to have had support from fab nurses getting me through 12 hrs in PPE! Thanks @NUHTherapies for releasing me. Our ICU nurses rock 💙
