🆕 ICU survivors are being failed. 7 in 10 get no rehab screening. Almost half are never referred for follow-up.
Physios are ready to deliver rehab. But the system is failing them - and their patients.
It’s time to fix the gaps in care.

Can anybody advise what adaptor to use with the MIR Spirobank FVC monitor to connect it to a tracheostomy? Thank you in advance

All physios working in the UK: Please consider completing this survey as part of my MSc project exploring the impact of CPD on physiotherapy careers. Should only take 5-10 minutes, please share! Thanks in advance! forms.cloud.microsoft/e/5Kts… Info sheet: drive.google.com/file/d/1Z2D…

I am undertaking a QI project on dysphagia screening in Critical Care and keen to understand the views of other SLTs/current practices.
I would be really grateful if SLTs working in critical care could complete this questionnaire by 21/5/25. Thank you!😀

Do any resp physios have experience of teaching parents how to NP suction? Is NP suctioning something that is routinely completed in the community setting? Thank you

He got off the train, he belted out some backwards doll gobbledygook, he threw himself into the foliage, he gave Frankie his coins, he was always incredibly polite and respectful, he was the ultimate team player. 👏

It’s #OccupationalTherapyWeek and we want to say a huge thanks to all our occupational therapists at the Trust 👏
Occupational Therapists empower patients to complete activities and goals which are individualised to themselves.
We appreciate all that you do for our patients 💙
