I attended a brilliant ACPIN South East course today, at the Sussex Rehabilitation Centre, on #Vestibular Assessment & Management with Sally de la Fontaine & Dr Peter Savundra.
It was my first ACPIN course - I got to meet some lovely Physios & learnt loads!

CSP takes action to address graduate recruitment concerns The CSP is raising the alarm about recruitment freezes, and their impact on physiotherapy graduates, pushing for urgent national action to protect our future workforce and patient care.

'It is absurd that with public concern about waiting lists, hundreds of capable and committed graduates are being locked out of the NHS.' @ashjames10.bsky.social

Neighbourhood health teams are in the news again today, set to be a central part of the forthcoming NHS 10-year plan.

These services work best with rehab at their core, and AHP leadership driving them forward.

Our panel outlined why at #NHSConfedExpo this week.

Children in UK suffering β€˜irreversible harm’ due to physiotherapy delays Teenagers face lifelong trauma from untreated chronic pain while children as young as four waiting 18 months, say physiotherapists

Tory legacy.
Children in UK suffering β€˜irreversible harm’ due to physiotherapy delays

Families travel 200 miles for NHS physiotherapy services because of delays or a lack of access where they live.

Part of strategy to force people to go private.

A&E data demonstrates need for right to rehab A new report into the unmet need driving accident and emergency attendance shows the shift from hospital to the community β€˜must happen everywhere’, the CSP says.

'These services keep people out of hospital and living independently at home and must be available to all.'

@sarahazzard.bsky.social responds to the latest report from the British Red Cross, which found that 1 in 7 A&E patients are repeat visitors.

Don't miss @danielhewittitv.bsky.social's timely investigation into the dire underfunding of palliative care - tomorrow night, ITV, 8.30pm.

70% of UK hospices are in deficit.

The work they do is so precious - yet they’re cutting jobs, beds and home care.

Do we care?
