Rehabilitation and workforce take centre stage at Scottish Labour The CSP and the Right To Rehab Coalition in Scotland highlighted how vital patient access to rehabilitation is for a better future in healthcare at the Scottish Labour Conference in Glasgow.

7 elements in tackling complex problems at work (not necessarily in linear order - all elements are interconnected). It starts with seeing the wider picture: we need to pull ourselves out of the specifics due to the interdependencies in big, complex problems:

If you’re interested in #rehabilitation and working with an amazing team of #SLTs then look no further! #lovewhereyouwork #lovewhereyoulive

Every day in August 2023 more than 2100 hospital beds in England were taken up by patients who were medically fit for discharge but couldn't be released because of unmet rehabilitation needs, including community equipment, assistive technologies, adaptations to housing, or a decision from a therapist. Access to high quality and timely multi-professional rehabilitation services can be a cost effective intervention that should be available to all, to support the efficiency of the discharge system and help patient recovery. These delays cause bottlenecks in the hospital system and tie up resources and staff. Rehabilitation can reduce the time spent in hospital, optimise intervention outcomes, prevent hospital admissions and readmissions, and reduce the risks of further complications.

Rehabilitation services are under-resourced to meet current and future demand, with significant workforce shortages in many integral professions. It's estimated that education and training places for the allied health professions (AHPs) will need to grow by as much as 25% by 2030-31 to meet demand, meaning a further 71 000 will be required in the NHS. Recruitment drives need to raise awareness and respect for these professions: flexible roles, diverse leadership, and development opportunities should be accessible, and professionals need to be compensated fairly for their work.

Rehabilitation: it’s a key part of healthcare, but needs to happen as early in the journey as possible.
