CSP condemns racist hate in Belfast forcing members out of their homes and workplaces We are appalled by the outbreak of racist violence in Belfast and beyond that has led to physiotherapy staff and students leaving their homes and staying away from work or their place of study. John Cowman, chief executive of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, said: ‘The disgraceful targeting of migrants, fuelled by far-right activists online, is a stain on our society and cannot be allowed to stand. ‘We greatly value our internationally educated members and stand in total solidarity with them during this horrific time. ‘It is unconscionable that communities are being targeted in this way in 2026 and we call on the authorities to clamp down hard on the perpetrators, whether they are on the streets or online.’ This is the third year in a row that there has been racist violence in Northern Ireland. CSP reps and staff in Northern Ireland are in regular contact with affected members throughout this period, ensuring they are kept informed and supported. Physio management at the Belfast Trust has been providing assistance to both students and international staff, particularly in relation to transport arrangements and facilitating opportunities to work from home where appropriate. Ulster University has been offering significant pastoral support to students and will be as flexible as possible in terms of self-study at home, to facilitate lost hours. csp.org.uk/news/2026-06-12-c…

We are appalled by the racist violence and disorder in Belfast that followed the horrific incident earlier in the week. We must reject the hatred shown on the streets and sewn online by people with no interest in community cohesion.

Black men are at a much higher risk of developing prostate cancer - twice as likely as white men - prostatecanceruk.org/prostat… This is just a pathetic attempt at grievance-baiting from Reform UK.
On the day the whole political establishment claims we do not live in a two tier country, they announce this. Note, the NHS makes NO drugs available exclusively to white people.

‘Advanced practice physiotherapists are highly trained, regulated practitioners who provide expert care to patients in a range of settings across the NHS. ‘Their skills, knowledge and expertise complement what other professions bring to teams treating patients and have an exceptionally strong record on safety.' The CSP has responded strongly to media claims over the weekend around the safety of advanced practice roles in the NHS. Read more: csp.org.uk/news/2026-05-09-d…
Community note
The advanced practice role/title itself lacks separate statutory regulation, protected title status, and profession-specific regulatory standards. hcpc-uk.org/standards/meet…

The way in which the JLP 'Muslim' poll for Policy Exchange is being headlined is so partisan it's disgraceful.

Deeply moving opening to his show on Times Radio by @Dannythefink just now. Solidarity with the Jewish community across the UK as they face this ongoing campaign of antisemitic attacks.

He’s not wrong. By all means criticise performance but some of it has been so personal and over the top. And while the video circulating yesterday wasn’t ideal, the bloke who took it came off far worse for my money.

Kristy-Anne never expected her life to be turned upside down by long COVID. Rehabilitation helped her rebuild strength, confidence and hope. This holiday season, she is looking ahead – something that once felt impossible. To all physiotherapy workers supporting people with complex, long-term conditions through winter pressures – your work changes lives. Thank you for all that you do. 👉Watch Kristy-Anne’s story: youtu.be/Vt1L7y6poVw #RightToRehab

A year ago, Rajinder’s life was shaped by pain. This holiday season, he is looking forward to everyday moments many take for granted – because rehab worked. To all members supporting people through pain this winter, often under intense pressure – thank you. 👉Watch Rajinder’s story: youtu.be/4LIbpj0Claw #RightToRehab
