This is one of the problems that I see growing on the back of the anger about PA’s - the rhetoric that anyone that’s “not a doctor” shouldn’t have expanded practice.

University Hospital Southampton 💙 is a far better +safer place for staff + patients with expanded roles from nurses / pharmacists and AHP’s

Interesting. Importance of a protocol highlighted , but even with that we find it remains challenging clinically for these patients with such heterogeneity.

I love this “I can” board from Moving Medicine! Thank you to Lisa Hughes, advanced practitioner physiotherapist for frailty, for bringing this to our attention and sharing how you’ve used it with your patients. Such lovely patient feedback! #EndPJparalysis

Belonging at work really matters. Employees with a strong sense of belonging outperform others on almost every metric, from engagement & retention to performance & wellbeing. Good leadership supports belonging: People with an effective manager are 6X more likely to feel this…

In a world where you can be anything, be kind. 🌟 If you see someone falling behind, walk beside them. Notice someone being ignored? Include them. Find someone knocked down? Lift them up. Always remind others of their worth. Sometimes, one small act of #kindness means the world💗

Rehabilitation should not be seen as a luxury healthcare service.

Complex issues require specialist skills and adequate resources.

Rising levels of unmet rehab needs have knock-on consequences on health & social care systems.

Rehabilitation is an investment.

Due to the level of the amazing nominations in the #ICSAwards23 team of the year category we felt that we also needed to recognise a second winner....
