More people are surviving strokes than ever before in the UK. But their hopes of getting better are being dashed because of a lack of physiotherapists. We highlight critical workforce shortages with @ACPIN_UK and @TheStrokeAssoc. #RightToRehab theguardian.com/society/2026…

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.

'Comprehensive access to physiotherapy could prevent nearly 200,000 falls and save the NHS more than £275m each year. Yet rehabilitation services are being held back...' Read @SHazzard featured in Guardian Letters ⬇️ #RightToRehab theguardian.com/society/2026…

CSP stands in solidarity with Nowak family and against stoking of violence The murder of Henry Nowak was an appalling crime. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this awful time. The law has run its course and his murderer has been convicted. The perpetrator is solely responsible for their actions. Henry’s family have been clear that they do not want his death to be used as a focus for hatred and division. Yet some people are disrespecting this and stoking violence. We condemn this and stand with local communities facing extremist violence as a result and with the Sikh community which is being targeted by racists. csp.org.uk/news/2026-06-03-c…
