Great teamwork from the Therapies and Nursing teams @WyeValleyNHS Raising awareness of pyjama paralysis and aiming to reduce deconditioning in our Frailty Unit Patients. @racheldphysio #Frailty #pyjamaparalysis
Raising awareness of the importance of getting up, getting dressed and getting moving today on the Frailty wards. It’s so important to prevent de-conditioning! @WyeValleyNHS thanks to everyone who got involved @PhysioWvt #endpjparalysis

Here’s my idea following Professor Dawn Skelton and @betterageing’s workshop on inpatient deconditioning - a laminated tick sheet to place in patient bed spaces to prompt all ward staff to encourage movement, tick off tasks with wipeable pens, and reduce deconditioning! #BGSconf
Lovely walk today in the Ribble Valley, it’s nice to be back home #AHPsActive #WeActiveChallenge @WeAHPs

Considering reviewing our interview technique for Recruitment of Band 5s. Does anybody use any techniques over traditional Q & As? Mixture? Recruitment days? Open to any ideas and keen to have discussions on pros/cons @WestMidlandsCSP @thecsp @TheACPRC @NHSLeader
Still looking to network - anyone have a specific inpatient falls rotation? #falls @WestMidlandsCSP @thecsp

This is Edna’s first dance in over 30 years.
As part of her physiotherapy to maintain her balance and mobility, the 91-year-old put her goal as ‘to be able to dance again’. Dancing partner, and Physiotherapy Assistant at @CDDFTNHS, Craig helped her do just that.
Found a new park to run around in and explore…even has a splash park! #AHPsActive #WeActiveChallenge @WeAHPs
Looking to network with any other hospitals/physio departments who have a specific inpatient falls rotation for band 5? Thanks!
A very full day walking around at the zoo and lots of running around in the splash park #AHPsActive #WeActiveChallenge @WeAHPs
