This is literally why #NHSfunding for rehabilitation after any sort of critical illness cannot be an after thought. Organ support, drugs & acute care saves lives - access to rehab saves people. Thanks for sharing your journey #rehablegend Source: TikTok @ tinabridge

Days like today remind me why I love physio so much. Getting a patient with guillain barre who’s been on CCU for 6 months outside to see the snow as part of his rehab session. The smile on his face was priceless.

Kobe Bryant was asked, “What is one quality that all the great ones have?” Without hesitation Kobe said: “It’s love. It’s not rocket science to me man. The quality that we all share is that we love what we do. We absolutely love it. And it’s a pure love. It’s not the fame. It’s not the money. It’s not even the championships. 
It’s loving what we do —and we do it all the time. We study all the time. And as a result the championships come.

The NHS is losing 15% of physiotherapy staff each year. We're calling for the government to urgently address recruitment and retention of physiotherapy staff by committing to a fully funded workforce plan now. Value physiotherapy staff. #RightToRehab
