Raising awareness of the importance of getting up, getting dressed and getting moving today on the Frailty wards. It’s so important to prevent de-conditioning! @WyeValleyNHS thanks to everyone who got involved @PhysioWvt #endpjparalysis

Considering reviewing our interview technique for Recruitment of Band 5s. Does anybody use any techniques over traditional Q & As? Mixture? Recruitment days? Open to any ideas and keen to have discussions on pros/cons @WestMidlandsCSP @thecsp @TheACPRC @NHSLeader

This is Edna’s first dance in over 30 years. As part of her physiotherapy to maintain her balance and mobility, the 91-year-old put her goal as ‘to be able to dance again’. Dancing partner, and Physiotherapy Assistant at @CDDFTNHS, Craig helped her do just that.
