Great to see our PHOENIX trial featured by the BBC, aiming to improve outcomes for survivors of critical illness @covcampus @nhsuhcw @CfCExcellence @NIHRresearch @UHCW_CritCare @Zudin_P @OxfordICUPhysio @nicky_wyer

Surviving critical illness is only the beginning for those who are treated in intensive care, so we need a rapid expansion of the provision of patient rehabilitation services to help patients return to life before critical illness. Read our manifesto at bit.ly/ElectionPriori…

Should #delirium be regarded only as "all-cause delirium"? No. In this paper, "we suggest that delirium research needs to evaluate the relationship b/t distinct clinical phenotypes & the discrete pathophysiological pathways underlying them." Link: doi.org/10.1002/alz.13…

Congratulation @Davido744 @RehabLegendLou The MENTAL trial has been published. Pilot RCT for mobilization in the evening to prevent and treat delirium in 58 patients was feasible and safe, showing promissing results thelancet.com/journals/eclin…

Time to debunk those myths! Many people believe that a high fall risk patient means that they need to just stay in bed, but we can prove otherwise! Stop by the Early Mobility 2024 Conference to learn more about how to improve mobility in your patients.

The new NHS workforce plan, a 🧵 I’ve been an NHS doctor for almost twenty years, a senior lecturer at two universities, I teach and train medical/nursing/pharmacy/paramedic/PA students, and a GP trainer for almost a decade

Shoutout to everyone else who today is having to suddenly relive reality of life inside hospital in Dec 2020. Now with added anger and hurt. Still, at least they’ve not been systematically underfunding the NHS workforce since… oh wait, no - yes you’re right, this is shit

New posters with QR codes for our patient information. Any other suggestions to add?? @ICUsteps @MindCharity @UKSepsisTrust @HeadwayUK #icuweek2023 @OliveyJenny

Spread The Good Word. Spot It. Sort It. Stop It. Delirium

Nurses and other NHS staff have seen their pay increase by around 20% since 2010 - well below inflation. Conservative MPs have seen their pay increase by 32% over the same period. Please RT if you agree NHS staff deserve so much better from this Government.

Early mobilization within 2-5 days reduces risks for ICUAW, duration of MV and LoS, and other parameters. Review by Rosa pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36996359/

Everything they are doing to the NHS they did to British Rail. Underfunded it, exhausted the service, got the public angry, and then said privatisation is the solution. Please RT if you won’t fall for it.

@Davido744 @ICS_updates @UHCW_CritCare @BarghouthyDalia @nicolajane2288 @AnnaMakPhysio @UHCW_RandD @sonophysio Well done David. Fantastic achievement for you and the whole team 👏🏻😊

Delighted to have achieved my @ICS_updates FUSIC accredited mentor status for lung ultrasound. Looking forward to supporting the fantastic @UHCW_CritCare team @BarghouthyDalia @nicolajane2288 @AnnaMakPhysio @UHCW_RandD And a big thank you to @sonophysio for all his support!

Where are all the physio staff? We're calling for the government to urgently address recruitment and retention of physiotherapy staff in the workforce plan. Value physiotherapy staff. #RightToRehab

'The CSP survey paints a dismal picture of the state of rehabilitation services, over-stretched and under-resourced...' Loss of rehab space, an issue raised by the CSP, was discussed during oral questions in the House of Lords, full clip: youtu.be/4JHR0iOGgtQ #RightToRehab

🗣️SAVE THE DATE for Coventry & Warwickshire’s FIRST Support worker Conference! 🗣️ Watch this space for more details! 👀👏🏼

At some point in all our lives we will be kept alive by a nurse. Morally and practically we should pay them properly. Yet my nursing colleagues have had a decade of real terms pay cuts - I support the #nursingstrike - it’s not about politics it’s about public health. Some say…

People aren't waiting 40 hours for an ambulance because of a one-day strike by paramedics. They're waiting 40 hours for an ambulance because the Tories running down the NHS, week in, week out.
