The one thing this last week and half has taught me is… No matter how big or bad your problems are… they can always get worse and bigger! 😖

Totally agree. Thanks for sharing @AdamMeakins #Physiotherapie #Training

PHYSIOS… stop putting people off from exercising when they have pain by misrepresenting research like this… pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37646368/ Yes, exercise is often seen not to outperform time which is usually the greatest healer/mediator in many painful MSK issues! And yes no one NEEDS to exercise anything to help with their painful issues! But exercise, if given sensibly and progressively, doesn’t harm or hurt either, so why not use it… its simple, cheap, healthy, and proactive, and has many other benefits? This kick back against exercise by some physios is getting utterly ridiculous and NEEDS to be quashed… immediately!

Right then… I’ve changed my mind! After a few days of letting the dust settle and careful contemplation I have decided NOT to voluntarily deregister and deregulate myself from the physiotherapy profession! Instead am going to defend myself against some malicious and vexatious accusations of misconduct and unprofessionalism outlined here for a number of reasons! hcpts-uk.org/hearings/heari… The first reason is that to deregister myself from the profession I have been told that I have to admit to all these accusations which I am NOT prepared to do! The next reason is that after 5 long years of living and dealing with this laborious and frustrating process to ‘throw the towel in’ now just because some others have recently jumped onto the accusation bandwagon doesn’t make sense, even if this means this process will now likely continue on for another few more years… so be it! Another reason I want to continue with this process is that I want to highlight how the HCPCs Fitness to Practice processes which are designed to protect the public from genuine shysters and charlatans, have been hijacked and weaponised by those with grudges to enforce their own vendettas onto those they disagree with or dislike! And finally, I am fighting these accusations because I don’t want any other physio in the future to feel they can’t robustly question, challenge, or criticise anyone on social media without the threat of being investigated by the HCPC! I also don’t want any physio to feel they can’t be their genuine, authentic selves on social media who may swear a bit for humour, or to express some human emotion now and then without the threat of being called unprofessional and having their clinical competence questioned. So in summary… I’m here to stay and to defend my reputation and freedom of expression from those desperate to take it away from me just because they don’t like me for disagreeing or criticising them in the past! I may succeed, I may fail but at least I will have NOT quit! So to all those watching this situation closely, sit back and settle in for a long fight… I hope you’ve got the stamina for it! 😝

Right then here goes!!! So I’ve just received this evening notification of another 3 complaints sent to the HCPC about more so called unprofessional behaviour online that they are ‘investigating’ yet again! These complaints were all sent during the first week of my hearing in July and I think explains why my first hearing was postponed after 5 years of prolonged delays! So unfortunately I think I’m just about done with the profession right now, and think I will now voluntarily deregulate myself from the HCPC and physiotherapy! I just don’t think I can be bothered to fight anymore of these malicious and pathetic complaints from those I have criticised, offended, or upset in the past and deal with the HCPCs woeful drawn handling of them! It really is mentally fatiguing and exhausting! I also have a feeling that these complaints and investigations will never stop now unless I do this! So for my own mental and physical health, and to allow me to say what I want, how I want, including my critique and criticism of the dogma and outdated thinking and people in this profession, I think that I have no choice but to find another path that allows me to honestly and simply help those in pain and disability! It’s been a fun and emotional 20 year ride, and I hate the fact that I have to leave a profession I love and am passionate about under these circumstances! But life goes on! And to those that have submitted these complaints recently and in the past… Congrats… well played… you’ve got what you’ve wanted! But believe me… you haven’t won the fight, there are still many more rounds left in me and I hope you have the stamina for it… Because believe… I do! See you on the other side!

So I’ve been advised that my HCPC hearing that was investigating my fitness to practice for alleged unprofessional behaviour on social media, which was adjourned last week due to a panel member recusing themselves, will most likely not be rescheduled until early 2024! This means another 6+ months of the sword of Damocles hanging over me and my career and reputation on top of the 4 1/2 years this has been going on for! In the meantime I am expected to carry on working as usual! How is this right or fair! 🤨🤷‍♂️
