Plant-based diets can support healthy living at every age and life stage. But as with any diet, you should plan your eating to meet your nutritional needs. This World Vegetarian Day check out our fact sheet to learn more about key nutrients to consider. bda.uk.com/resource/vegetari…

Totally agree Laura. Physio must adapt to survive and meet the ever growing need. What can we do with what we have? How can we support & enable health improvement at scale? Let’s think outside the box and learn from those around us @thecsp @NHSEngland
the future role of physio is one in which society needs something v different from us, the context in which we work will change, &what we do in this context matters. despite best efforts we are not impacting on the global burden , need to #doWith its more nuanced than that !

Nice to see Sutton Health and Care Reablement unit showcased in the @AmandaPritchard Christmas message @geshNHS leading the way in providing MDT care between hospital and home. So proud of our AHPs who have led and supported this work @arlenewellman64 @NHSEngland @londonahps
A really poignant message from @NHSEngland CEO Amanda Pritchard - includes showing the value of multidisciplinary teams wrapping services around people and populations. Great to see @WeAHPs staff from Sutton Health and Care Reablement Unit in the video.

I’m already on HRT I don’t know why it helped but I suspect a combination of 1. Placebo 2. Increased exercise compliance because I apply HRT every morning and it reminded me to do my exercises 3. Reduced local nerve sensitivity 4. Analgesic effect of rubbing it in
