Wow what a fab morning we have had for #ICURehabDay23 😀🥳💪🏻
Lots of daylight therapy including a lovely patient + dog reunion and a competitive game of volleyball!🤣

Using the upcoming #ICURehabDay23 and empty bedspaces as an excuse to get the manual handling equipment out and getting our wonderful @AicuLri nurses practising! #rehablegends
So why aren’t we doing everything we can to ensure ICU survivors don’t get cognitive impairments and acquired dementia?
What’s the use of recovered lungs if the brain doesn’t work?
The A-F bundle is a robust, proven approach to reducing ICU delirium… so let’s use it!

Daylight therapy or Vogue photoshoot 🤷🏻♀️📸 … we get to enjoy the sunshine so let’s make sure our patients can too! Great MDT effort by @AicuLri getting 4 patients outside today 🌞🌞🌞 @uhltherapy@annabel_towse@LeighClayton92 (patient consent gained)
Can you help? We’re looking into comparing what respiratory physio provision/services (if any) other nhs hospital trusts have in their Emergency Departments. Do they exist? Is it a standalone service or fit within another team? 🤔🩺 Responses appreciated! @uhltherapy@TheACPRC
Huge opportunity to lead our ICU OT team as 8a Advanced Practitioner.
We are dedicated to ensuring our patients have access to the essential skills OT can bring to their care.
We are offering an excellent relocation package if required.
