JIA Awareness Week 2025 starts TOMORROW!  7th–11th July 💜 Over 10,000 children in the UK live with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) — a painful, often misunderstood autoimmune condition that can affect not only joints, but also the eyes, organs, education, and mental health. 📚 On average, a child with JIA misses 23 days of school a year due to illness, pain, fatigue, and hospital visits. Too often, it’s mistaken for “just growing pains.” This week we’re launching powerful educational videos, free resources, and real stories from families affected — to shine a light on this invisible condition and drive change in schools, homes, and healthcare. Let’s raise our voices so no child is left behind. 📲 Follow along. Share the facts. Help us make JIA visible. 👍 Interact with our content—likes and comments count! 🔁 Share our videos using #JIAAW25 and tag us! 🔗 jia.org.uk/jiaawarenesswe…

Thanks @DavidGaskell11 for organising a great day and all the speakers involved, lots learnt and definitely feel more confident in the management of tracheostomies and laryngectomies!

Great day of learning on the altered airway study day ran by @DavidGaskell11. Lots of new things learnt from each speaker, and a special mention to @alexbaymann for being our FEES model! @uhltherapy

Great day in Watford for the @NippyVentilator paediatric airway clearance study day!

@Rhian_HughesPT Great mix! 🤣

@physio_rachael Thank you! I’ve mastered being non-adult AND boring! 😂

Birthday today! 🎈 No qualms about getting older, it’s a privilege denied to many, but the eyebrow raises when I share I’m 37 have caused me to question whether I really am! Unsure if a good response or a sign of how non-adult I am! 😂

@Philsykes40 @NippyVentilator @TheACPRC @ApcpResp I registered interest for this earlier! Thank you for tagging me ☺️

@NippyVentilator @TheACPRC @ApcpResp @physio_rachael

@LTHTPaedPhysio @AlderHeyPhysio

‼️ Paediatric Physiotherapists ‼️ Does your service have any band 6 rotational paediatric competencies including neurology, respiratory and orthopaedic rotations? If so, here at UHL we would love to hear from you! @TheAPCP @naomi_physio @GOSHCardioResp @Leeds_Childrens

@naomi_physio @TheAPCP @GOSHCardioResp @Leeds_Childrens Yes please!

@physio_rachael @TheAPCP @GOSHCardioResp @Leeds_Childrens We’re in the middle of doing them! But for generic band 6 not rotational but we do all areas! Once they’re done can send them through??
