We’re working with @gloshospitals Orthopaedic team to develop a video outlining the #AmbulatoryPathway for knee replacements at Cheltenham to improve patient understanding of the process. This was a fantastic project to be involved in and we can't wait to share the end result!

Thanks to a donation from a grateful patient, we’ve been able to fund a new ‘Sara Stedy’ - an enhanced transfer aid that helps patients to be safely and easily moved from a seated position to standing. “I cannot thank you all enough for taking such wonderful care of me." 💖

"Therapists provide vital support and advice to older people, helping them regain their function and prevent deterioration." Great to see occupational therapists & physiotherapists in rehab referenced in this @guardian piece 👇 #RightToRehab @theRCOT theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Wow! The OT role sure is varied isn't it? Take a look at some elements of care an OT can support with. Such a great profession! (We are bias, but we aren't wrong!) @GM_Cancer @GMCancerWfandEd @MCRCnews @ChristieLibrary @CRUKHCPs @WeAHPs

Your support has helped fund a specialist ‘Tilt-In-Space’ wheelchair to help local cancer patients at our hospitals 🦼 “A patient really wanted to go outdoors and this new equipment made it possible for them to spend quality time in the garden safely with their family."
