Nice to hear LSVT benefits being discussed on @BBCRadio4 this morning! A bit sad that this was termed as “non NHS” treatment though. Our service @qvh do offer this for our patients and we certainly see how great it can be!

Time is flying by
We have no time to do things

The only way to make time for things that matter is …to STOP doing things that don’t matter
