On my way to Oxford: talking about the English flag at the Oxford Union tonight: has it become a symbol of division? And what should we do with it now?

'We don’t want patients paying the price for this when there’s a solution ready to go.' Ash James @HSJnews reports on our latest survey data: 8 in 10 of NHS physios do not have enough staff to meet demand and 65% said their service was subject to recruitment freezes.

'This analysis should be a warning that we cannot just keep doing the same things year after year. 'Part of the solution is improving access to community services.' - Rob Yeldham Our response to The Health Foundation data, which found that delayed discharge figures are worsening. #RightToRehab

The idea of “imported” violence against women and girls is a deeply comforting fiction - one that allows people to avoid looking at where it actually happens: within our homes and behind closed doors.

@thecsp.bsky.social welcomes transformative Employment Rights law www.csp.org.uk/news/2025-12...

Shocked that a supposedly mainstream party leader is resorting to false extremist claims about the main threats women face. All violence against women. And girls is wrong but most sexual violence is from partners or colleagues and not random foreign strangers.

Royal Assent to the Employment Rights ACT. What a day. We did it.

'These new rights will be transformative for our members in workplaces across the country and represent the first pro-worker, pro-union laws in a generation.' The Employment Rights Bill, which introduces new rights for people in the workplace, cleared its final parliamentary hurdle.

How can the biggest change in employment law in the UK in generations, impacting millions of workers, not make the front page of the BBC News app?

‘Your action helped make this happen, now your evidence can help ensure the final guidance truly reflects the needs of physiotherapy and wider AHP services.’ NHS England has commissioned an evidence review that will help shape new AHP safe staffing guidance.

🚨BREAKING: Employment Rights Bill passes in the House of Lords and will become law. This is an historic day for working people across the country, and the trade unions who represent them.

A review of foreign interference in British democracy might close down some of the loopholes which make laundering foreign donations pretty straightforward. www.gov.uk/government/n...

@thecsp.bsky.social comments on delayed discharge reports www.csp.org.uk/news/2025-12...

'MSK disease is the single biggest contributor to England’s healthy life expectancy gap.' Richard Harris in @HSJnews on how community physiotherapy could address the immediate need and support a healthier population in the long term. Physiotherapy works and pays back.

'We welcome the development of new neighbourhood health centres that have rehabilitation embedded from the outset - not as an add-on, but as core to how communities stay healthy.' @sarahazzard.bsky.social Our response to the announcement of 250 new neighbourhood health centres. #RightToRehab

💷📉 The first independent economic analysis of physiotherapy shows it saves the NHS more than it costs. Just four interventions save the NHS £145m a year. Read the report and use the Value Calculator to see what your service saves: www.csp.org.uk/roi #RightToRehab

Member Karen Poole represented the CSP in Parliament, giving evidence to inform the 10-year workforce plan for the NHS in England. We're calling for a plan that fully recognises physiotherapy and rehabilitation as central to achieving the NHS’s goals: www.csp.org.uk/news/2025-11...

Good from @jeevunsandher.bsky.social renewal.org.uk/blog/a-unite...

A very welcome article! Would be great to see @agilecsp.bsky.social involved in future discussions! www.csp.org.uk/news/2025-12...

'We know what works. Physiotherapy-led falls and frailty interventions save lives, maintain independence, and economists forecast they will save the NHS £534m over the next 5 years.' - Rob Yeldham A National Audit Office report highlights the key role of physiotherapy in frailty care
