More talent and humanity in one family than in the entire parliamentary Tory party. Congratulations and thank you.
Here's our final song of 2023, about the deserving folk receiving #NewYearHonours & the contrast with the pathetic cronyism in @trussliz & @BorisJohnson appointees. It's to the tune "There Is Nothing Like A Dame" but called "Does Liz Truss Not Feel Ashamed?" 🎶Happy New Year!🥳🍾

Value physiotherapy staff. The government must urgently address recruitment and retention of physiotherapy staff in the workforce plan, which will be published this week. #RightToRehab

I still wish for the complete admission avoidance package! Yes I want utopia but we need proper access to community services who have the ability to respond within hours not weeks or days! Front door teams are only as good as the services they can access!

The CSP is calling on the government to urgently address NHS staff shortages. 12,000 physiotherapists are needed to meet demand, and the UK is lagging far behind other countries in terms of workforce numbers. #RightToRehab theguardian.com/society/2023…

Thanks to this Government, junior doctors can now make more money serving coffee than saving patients. From tomorrow we take #JuniorDoctorsStrike action so we’re paid what we’re worth.

When we hire from the outside, we pay more to get less. Despite costing more, external hires perform worse and quit more. Promoting from within fuels individual growth and collective success. If there are never strong internal candidates, we've failed at leadership development.

Exciting day in the Therapy department opening our new Therapy Assessment stairs (old stairs in the background) The adjustable height stairs will enable the team to assess patients replicating home stairs as best as possible.

🙌🏻 yes to this!! It's not just GP services that will benefit. As an ACP trainee OT in A&E this would enable me the same opportunity to prescribe as my physio, nursing and pharmacy colleagues & can only improve patient care & experience!

Watching an episode of The Real A&E…. In this incidence, The ‘doctor’ who found a way round this patients mobility problems is in-fact an extremely skilled professional called an OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST… #OccupationalTherapy #AHP #creditwherecreditsdue 😁

We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak so we can show the government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS and its staff. Please can you help by following us and retweeting this?

We think NHS staff should have: * Access to healthy food * Whenever they are on a shift * That is subsidised as much as the meals MPs get Please RT if you do too

.@KMiddletonCSP responds to figures released today which showed a record wait for patients in A&E and for ambulances. The focus is on A&E and ambulance waits, but rehabilitation is key to freeing up beds and improving the flow of patients through hospital. #RightToRehab 1/2

Correct and the current crisis has been coming - and predicted - for several years. Its root causes are a political failure to act sooner and more effectively and a policy failure to tackle rising demand for care by fully engaging the public in prevention and early intervention
For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help. I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).
