'Buying more social care beds to get patients out of hospital more quickly is only part of the answer. The other vital part is to invest in the workforce for community rehabilitation services, many of which have borne the brunt of years of de-prioritising and funding cuts. Community healthcare gives people their lives back, enables them to fully recover, manage their symptoms and live independently. They also greatly improve the flow through hospital and prevent people from needing to be readmitted further down the line. Rehabilitation is the lifeblood that runs through all areas of the NHS and when it is properly funded and resourced it speeds up patient discharge and boosts patient outcomes. It is crucial for the next government to recognise just how essential physiotherapy and rehab teams in hospitals and in the community are to ensure a healthy future for the NHS. We know that if these services are given sufficient staff, space and equipment, huge change is possible.' @SHazzard, CSP assistant director of strategic communications and Community Rehab Alliance Co-Chair in response to Labour proposals by Wes Streeting. #RightToRehab

"Most people believe #frailty is inevitable & irreversible. This clinical trial showed that a simple, low-cost, home-based intervention can reverse frailty and significantly improve muscle strength, bone mass, activity levels and slowness in 3 months." bgs.org.uk/blog/twenty-minut…

I’m meant to be supervising @victoriaplace50 really this is one of those wonderful working relationships where you leave a conversation feeling like the opposite has happened! ✨ Thank you for our energising chats! Keep championing collaboration! #fallsprevention #carehomes

Make it personal! That doesn’t mean we can’t have group sessions, in primary or secondary care (they can be helpful and fun for all involved). But the overview has to be individualised.

Rehabilitation is an essential component of health care for older people. That doesn’t mean “Refer OT/PT”! It means promoting independence with all our actions, while we are looking after that person, whatever the setting. That’s down to ALL of us!

Why should we invest in rehabilitation? It improves lives, but also makes us less dependent on others as we age, so it reduces demand on the system. It saves money too! ⬇️⬇️
