Happy Allied Health Professions Day!
MPs highlighted the vital role of AHPs, including physiotherapists, at the first-ever Allied Health Professionals debate in the House of Commons in April.

Today is Allied Health Professions Day!
There are 15 AHP roles across a range of sectors from emergency response and diagnosis to rehabilitation.
Thank you to all our AHPs for the crucial role you play in improving the lives of patients 💙

The original NHS England, First Contact Physios pilot was part of the Elective Care Transformation Programme in 18/19. Pts with MSK problems were offered an appt with a MSK FCP rather than seeing a GP first. The NHS reports that the pilot evaluated more than 6,800 appointments.

Advanced practice is not doctor substitution. It is a level of practice.
The way forward is neither defending traditional boundaries for their own sake nor pursuing role expansion without sufficient scrutiny.

We are saddened to learn the passing of former Battersea Park Rangers player Jason Arday 😢
Jason was a very generous and kind man on and off the pitch and a very good goalkeeper at this level ✋🏻
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this very sad time 🙏🏻

Why are people so mad about this… wtf..
It’s one government warning because many people don’t have any common sense these days…
I am lot more angry about the 10 scam calls I get a day, to my mobile, from UK mobile numbers!

Count Binface is a huge celebrity in Japan.
If Clacton voters are smart, they’ll elect him — and Japanese tourism will transform the place into one of the coolest international destinations on Earth.

The term ‘Noctor’ is more than a slur. It reflects a culture of disrespect towards professional colleagues and undermines the collaborative working on which modern healthcare depends. We can debate roles and standards without demeaning people.

‘Advanced practice physiotherapists are highly trained, regulated practitioners who provide expert care to patients in a range of settings across the NHS.
‘Their skills, knowledge and expertise complement what other professions bring to teams treating patients and have an exceptionally strong record on safety.'
The CSP has responded strongly to media claims over the weekend around the safety of advanced practice roles in the NHS.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The advanced practice role/title itself lacks separate statutory regulation, protected title status, and profession-specific regulatory standards.

96% of people with no shoulder pain have "abnormalities" on MRI!
From @JAMAInternalMed: #RotatorCuff abnormalities on #MRI were found in 99% of adults aged 41 to 76, including 96% of asymptomatic shoulders, indicating most findings are age-related rather than disease.

A range of people. Once the request to be seen has been triaged not everyone will have to see the GP. I was sent straight to the physio for example. A much more efficient appointment system could free up a lot of appointments. It has, at my surgery. I'm impresssed.

GDP up: 1.2%
Triple lock up: 4.7%
Someone help me budget this my public finances are dying.
NEWS. The State Pension is set to rise 4.7% next April. We know this as it is 'triple locked', ie rises by the higher of 2.5% or inflation or average earnings rise. The final figure has just come in, for earnings up to July and it's the highest of the three, at 4.7%.
So based on that the FULL state pension (ie for someone with all the qualifying national insurance years) is set to rise from...
NEW state pension £230.24 to £241.05/wk
OLD state pension (retirees pre Apr 2016) £176.45 to £184.75/wk
This will take someone on the full new state pension to £12,535 a year, only £35 below the frozen personal allowance (amount you can earn tax free each year).
So as state pension income is taxable, that means without any question the following year (unless something changes), those on the full new state pension with no other income will for the first time pay tax on it (as it will rise a minimum 2.5% and personal allowances are frozen).
