Thank you Pippa Heylings 🔶️ MP for South Cambridgeshire for taking the time to visit our specialist rehab beds - when rehab is well funded there are great patient and hospital outcomes. Unfortunately nationally, rehabilitation services are often under-funded. See petitionforrehab.com #rightforrehab Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP)

Act on Darzi findings to create a 'modern, responsive NHS' The CSP has strongly endorsed Lord Darzi's recommendations about moving care into the community. However, more physiotherapy staff are needed to deliver expanded services: csp.org.uk/news/2024-09-1… #RightToRehab

DW. The UK rehabilitation system has major delays 'built-in', so patients may wait in a non-rehabilitation setting for weeks. A study looked at 235 admissions, finding delays were associated with reduced rehabilitation efficiency. Not proof of causation. doi.org/10.1177/026921…

Honestly, next time a clinician tells you that no further recovery is possible beyond a year or so after your #stroke, ask them to explain the science behind their view. Some discussion of the 'plateau' from 16:45 here youtube.com/watch?v=IFUayZ…… @PTcoach Mike Garrow Know Stroke

🌟 Congratulations Dr Ehab Georgy for being awarded a CSP commendation! 🌟 Ehab’s successful expansion of the Early Supported Discharge services for stroke across Suffolk has made a real difference to patients’ lives.

If only we had the AHP workforce to provide rehab on Sat & Sun in an acute stroke ward & stroke rehab ward! 7/7 rehab is vital to flow, improving clinical outcomes & returning people to their homes & work. Been really disappointed by what I’ve seen this W/E. Wes Streeting

'Rehab is key not just to good recovery but to prevention of future demand on the NHS.' 👏 Wes Streeting on the importance of rehab in making the NHS work, in response to a question by physiotherapist 💙Rachael Maskell MP MP. #RightToRehab

Excited to be attending #SRR winter conference at UoE

Really excellent videos on 'Managing Ataxia' developed by Genny Hart & Suzanne Booth at the Queen Square Ataxia service, available on the links below ACPIN Ataxia UK UCLH Neurorehab at Queen Square Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Research Group (NMRR) youtube.com/watch?v=EuRz2y… youtube.com/watch?v=wuRMku…

Do you know what’s crazy? Early activity, such as early or enhanced recovery protocols could mitigate the £820 million annual NHS burden from excess bed days due to hospital-acquired deconditioning (#HAD). I’ll just leave this here…

If the government is really going to spend £1bn a year extra on helping people back into jobs, then I hope a big chunk is going to be spent on improving and delivering effective rehabilitation, not just in acute settings, but for life google.com/search?q=rehab… Wes Streeting

Getting people active, self-caring and back to work after (neurological) injury requires good quality rehabilitation. Here's just one example. I'm sure the community can share others with Wes Streeting Liz Kendall

'Rehabilitation isn't optional, it's an essential.' Sara Hazzard (She/Her) was interviewed on BBC News, warning of the impact of major service cuts, in response to reports that the NHS England has tasked health trusts with making unprecedented savings. #RightToRehab

Neurorehab saves lives and money. New report: up to £680K saved per patient. It’s time the NHS funded it like it matters. #RightToRehab #Neurorehab #NHS 👉Full report from the UK Acquired Brain Injury Forum (UKABIF) - ow.ly/HWuR50VXxy4
