At the Alliance Party pre-conference dinner, lobbying for Physiotherapy services in NI. #RightToRehab #AHPWorkforce #timelypayparity

Privileged to attend AHPFNI's ‘AHPs- Doing What Matters Most’ event at Stormont - great AHP innovations tackling H&SC challenges. Great MLA turnout, including the Health Minister. Also grateful for @thecsp.bsky.social CEO John Cowman's ongoing support in NI #RightToRehab #AHPWorkforce #physiotherapy

‘We need to make sure that it's not a postcode lottery across Scotland.’

Thank you to MSP Jackie Baillie, who supported our #RightToRehab event at #ScotLab25, which included @chsscotland.bsky.social.

The event demonstrated how vital access to rehab is for a better future.

'Rehab is key not just to good recovery but to prevention of future demand on the NHS.' 👏

Health Secretary Wes Streeting highlighted the importance of rehabilitation in making the NHS work, following the launch of healthcare reforms and a social care commission in England this week.

Fantastic to have colette Ridehalgh expertly guide our MSK/FCP physios on latest evidence&practice in neural dynamics - thank you Colette & Helen Welch! Full day with prioritised attendance for our band 6 MSK staff - formal learning running parallel to our 'Elevate MSK' band 6 program.

‘My message to other managers is – go bold, go big. We support multiple apprentices at once.'

Alan Macdonald shares how North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust overcame the challenge of funding for apprentices.

Sports & Craft Day in Craigavon NI, for children and young people with limb absence amputation and limb difference - 25th April 2025

Great discussions at @versusarthritis.bsky.social (NI) 'Health Leaders Roundtable' event last week aiming to improve MSK health & healthcare. Prevention, the Right to Rehab, Data-driven decision making, Value-based & Outcome-focused care, Linking services to impove patient experience, and much more.

With such relief, I welcome the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Witnessing the human suffering, even from afar, has been horrendous. The lives lost can never be brought back, but at least the killing can now stop. I hope this marks the start of a lasting peace #Peace #GazaCeasefire

I'm very proud to have been elected as Chair of the CSP NI Board for 2025-26. Looking forward to supporting the CSP members in NI and continuing to work with such great colleagues on the board. @thecsp.bsky.social @irishphysio.bsky.social @robyeldham.bsky.social
