We need a robust Allied Health workforce strategy to ensure that students, supervisors and practices are able to ensure the next generation of professionals start and stay in the profession they are trained in. The sustainability of all AH professions is essential! @apaphysio
The students left out of Labor’s promised placement payments

We have alternate models of care that can prevent these waiting lists if funding enabled them. Like non operative pathways for #OA is a start and can improve outcomes. That is true health reform! @apaphysio @DrChrisBarton

While blowing out the candles today my wish is that the next 40 years of Medicare is sustainable, consumer focussed, easier to navigate, outcome focussed and we use all practitioners skills to the fullest. 🎂 @apaphysio #physio

It was great to sit down with @CroakeyNews! I feel that if we want true health reform, we need to look at different ways to do things better. One way is using everyone’s full scope of practice and wrapping services around the consumer that drives positive outcomes. @apaphysio
In the second article in a Croakey series on hope, @AlisonSBarrett asked a range of contributors about their hopes for 2024.
Many thanks to all who contributed, incl @MegBastard @fi_cornforth @JudkinsSimon @president_apa @erin_k_f @robertstirling ...

"He did not face a ball, nor score a run, but Australia's physiotherapist could lay claim to being the third most important person in the batting effort that sealed one of the greatest comeback wins in cricket history." Well done, @NJones_21 👏👏👏
Glenn Maxwell said he was ‘done’. Pat Cummins told him to go off. But Aussie physio Nick Jones had other ideas

Two simple solutions put forward by @apaphysio to streamline the patient journey in primary care can be achieved now, by allowing physios to directly refer patients to orthopaedic surgeons within their scope of practice and expand medical imaging rights to physios.
The APA has evidenced-based, cost-effective reforms to improve primary care. Expand medical imaging rights, enable physios to directly refer to orthopaedic surgeons. Invest in publicly funded FCP for faster access to diagnosis and treatment.

Having #physios within Urgent Care Clinics can make the consumer journey so much better and more effective. MBS funding for direct #physio is essential. @apaphysio @Mark_Butler_MP
I spoke on @abcnews Brisbane this afternoon about the new Urgent Care Clinic we’ve just opened in Woolloongabba.
It’s one of 58 that will be open around the country, providing bulk billing health care and taking pressure off our emergency departments.
