Thanks again @bensimms65, @LordNigelCrisp and the other participants for today’s @THETlinks session. Let’s talk rehabilitation sometime soon.... @CambGHP @CUH_Physio
As a physio involved with a @CambGHP partnership with the @UgandaCancerIns let’s highlight the importance of including Physio/rehab/AHP input for long term care of COVID-19 patients in our global partnerships in a follow up @THETlinks @MedicsAcademy event. @thecsp @RobYeldham

Let’s hope this is true and that it leads to actual participation in exercise and long term behaviour change!
New research on the impact of social distancing has shown that almost two thirds of adults consider exercise to be more important than ever during the current coronavirus (#Covid19) crisis. See more ⬇️

Our @CUH_NHS Team of Porters do a fantastic job keeping the mighty Addenbrooke’s running smoothly, even in times like this. We hope that the fabulous work of @ACTcharity can help support and recognise the work of this essential part of the CUH team!
NHS porters rarely get a mention, but they are doing an absolutely heroic job right now to keep our hospitals moving Please spare a RT for all of them

🏠 If you are at home because of #coronavirus, it's still important to stay active every day as much as you can. WHO recommends that 👫 all healthy adults do 30 minutes/day of physical activity, and children 👦🧒 should be physically active for 1 hour/day.  #COVID19 #BeActive

It’s only right that our @CUH_REACT team lead by example...... Stay Active at Home! @CUH_Physio @NicolaDayPhysio
Thanks Joe - Great to have something regular to start the ‘school day’ off with in these uncertain times. Tilda aged 8 was focussed throughout.... Wilf aged 5 had his own version though...🤦🏽‍♀️

To our lovely @CUH_REACT patients where this applies..... Please take care and self isolate. If you need more help to stay active (& sane) and exercise at home - let us know. We are still here for you!
It is very important that people who are at very high risk protect themselves by staying at home at all times. Guidance has been published listing these conditions and the actions to take. gov.uk/government/publicatio…

Couldn’t agree more - this will enable @CUH_REACT to still offer telephone and digital support, advice and encouragement for @CUH_NHS oncology patients for the time being as well allow us to be redeployed to the wards to reinforce our fabulous inpatient physio team! @CUH_Physio
