Wearing purple for World Prematurity Day 2025

Very #Proud to be working collaboratively with #NICU teams here @UHP_NHS on #FreshAirTherapy

Also mindful that I was a #Preterm infant in the 1980s and that I am forever grateful for the care my family had ❤️

Amazing work done @UHP_NHS @livewellsw this week for

“therapy staff are always positive and encourage you to achieve your best…a friendly environment to recover and improve in, especially when being able to attend a weekly amputee group session”

Closing hydrotherapy resources is a massive loss for inpatients, outpatients and rehabilitation services.

It is not only short sighted, but simply ignorant.

Rehab costs money, but saves lives and gets people back to health and work.

I spoke to @itvlondon about the planned closure of the Northwick Park hydrotherapy pool

Losing access to hydro means many will lose access to rehab entirely. Worsening pain, disability & deepening health inequalities

Hydro isn’t a luxury. It’s essential

Why fresh air matters a 🧵

Nothing like a cheeky admission to remind you exactly why you do your job & what matters.

As a patient today, I want to remind you that the “little things” matter & the NHS’s people are its biggest asset.

Thank you #TeamNHS for keeping me safe
