Health Sciences University (HSU) are delighted to share that we are rolling out our first Enhanced Clinical Practice Apprenticeship for AHPs from our London Campus this spring. This first intake is being rolled out for physiotherapists and osteopaths.

I’m a great fan of history podcasts, especially #betwixtthesheets by @k8lister.bsky.social (funny, informative, often outrageous) but this weeks episode on the #magdalenelaundries has me reeling. Truly shocked

@ali-kerr1.bsky.social Helloooooo… I’ve put together this list of AHPs- hope it helps 😊 bsky.app/profile/did:...

Check out this fantastic resource thanks @janetfolland.bsky.social

Challenged myself to swim/dive in 61 different places in my 61st year. 20th swim- Derwentwater on Boxing Day (a tad nippy!)

Washed up on the beach at Mawbray, Cumbria. I think it’s a Thornback ray (Raja clavata)- what do you think? #UKMarinespecies #UKunderwater

@cathyahp0715.bsky.social Frank looks gorgeous 😊 Here’s my two, Dora and Pip (plus my daughters dog Alfie)

Today has been good. Two weeks ago I lost one of my precious, trusty fins, (which have been with me for many dives and snorkels)- I was completely gutted. 😞😢🤿

At the CBI conference. Had a chance to ask Rachel Reeves how government can address working age health challenge. She emphasised the need for a cross govt approach - work, skills and health depts - to help people stay in and return to work & underlined the importance of support for mental health

The bsky #AHPcommunity is growing! @jokitchen.bsky.social to add to the starter pack @naomimcvey.bsky.social @kmiddleton60.bsky.social @paulphysio09.bsky.social @drlisa-ahp.bsky.social @rcpod.bsky.social @collegeodp.bsky.social @healthphysio.bsky.social @lynsaydukeot.bsky.social

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

Delighted to welcome Professor Oliver Shanley to deliver his delayed #CAHPO24 keynote today🙏 Very powerful narrative on lessons for clinical staff from Greater Manchester MH Trust Provoked much reflection & many thoughtful questions from #AHPs on #quality & #safety #AHPsDeliver

Well I’ve taken flight and arrived in Blue Sky! Looking forward to chatting with lots of old and new contacts in the neuro rehab world!

Been thinking about #MOHO and how the environment shapes occupation. Social media is an occupation too, right? Since moving from X to Bluesky, I’ve felt a tonne more satisfied and engaged. Just goes to show how a positive environment makes all the difference for meaningful participation.

Prof Kevin Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020. The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope. Please watch this 2min clip. youtu.be/FPCztlID3Q0

NHS never really recovered from the pandemic - just look at any of the NHS indicators: www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/qualitywatch... As a nation, we seem intent on a communal forgetting of how bad it was. I'm reposting this thread of testimony on the reality of the NHS during first two waves. Pls watch.
