🚨 Exercise is no longer optional, it is essential!
One of the most impactful studies at #ASCO25
🏃♂️ The #CHALLENGE trial (LBA4319) proves that structured exercise after chemo in stage III colon cancer is not just lifestyle—it’s life-saving.
📊 5y DFS: 80.3% vs 73.9%
❤️ 8y OS: 90.3% vs 83.2%
📉 Mortality risk ↓ by 37%

Vacancies..inadequately resourced teams…de-prioritisation of therapy/ rehab services (+ physical spaces) Saving lives + then failing to offer services that allow humans to “live a life” so much potential for HSCP teams to impact pt. QoL..if resourced. @_ISCP_ @CarrollJennifer
The Pay and Numbers strategy is failing patients and physiotherapists alike.
We are calling for it to be stopped.
We fully support Physiotherapists taking industrial action to fight for safe staffing and proper resourcing.
Enough is enough – the health of patients and professionals is at stake.

Just get out the door.
There are many days when I'm not motivated to go on a run or sit down and write. The secret isn't to try to find motivation.
It's to put your shoes on and just start. Tell yourself you'll come back in 5 minutes if it sucks.

Balance is overrated. Never apologize for caring deeply about something. The path to greatness—and to fulfillment, happiness, and satisfaction—requires it.
What follows are the most important ideas to help you on the path:

🚨93.6% voted YES for industrial action in the ballot on the HSE Pay & Numbers Strategy.
Well done to you all for the lunchtime protests and the ballot turnout. The determination to fight for what’s right is incredible.
What happens now? 👇🏿
ALT Info for members – what happens now? Your colleagues, the elected representatives of Fórsa members in the Health & Welfare division, will meet to decide the next steps. This includes what type of industrial action (up to and including strike action) will happen and when. 3 weeks’ notice has to be given for industrial action in health services. Members will be emailed directly with updates. ******** Well done to you all for the protests and the ballot turnout. The determination to fight for what’s right is incredible.

I hear #BeaumontHospital are shutting out-patient physio to improve patient flow.
I'm glad I've my mortgage/car paid off.
This feels like the worst of times.
Corporate have gone rogue, no respect for frontline or patients.

Huge turnout at the protests by @HSElive employees today, from across unions.
Let's cut through the spin. Staff Cuts = Service Cuts.
The Pay and Numbers Strategy is the recruitment embargo under another name #ServicesAreSuffering

Help us solve the mystery of the vanishing jobs...
The HSE decided to get rid of 1000s of vacant jobs when the recruitment embargo was lifted. But who's going to do that work now?🤔
If you're in Fórsa & work for HSE/Section 38, you need to do this survey!forms.office.com/pages/respo…
