Rehab Can't Wait.

Patients need the right space, equipment and support to rebuild strength, mobility and independence.

However, NHS rehab services are increasingly facing cuts, including a loss of rehab space, with devastating consequences.

'If you've lived through it you know rehab can't wait.'

When Tish lost her mobility, many lives depended on her recovery. With the help of physiotherapy, Tish could get back to caring for the hedgehogs that depend on her.

Today we raised the impact of cuts to NHS services in national media. Our members have told us that the situation is not improving: ongoing recruitment freezes, post deletions and a loss of rehab space is still affecting too many services.

'Patients are waiting longer for treatment, receiving less rehabilitation, recovering more slowly and some are living with avoidable disability as a result.' - Rob Yeldham

Our latest survey has revealed recruitment freezes and corridor care continue to impact NHS physio services.

A total joy to highlight work in #Leeds - getting people home from hospital efficiently, and helping them stay there. Power of rehab and #physiotherapy in action.

Now needs to be scaled up across the country!

The NHS Ten Year Plan says prevention and community care matter. But there’s no prevention – or recovery – without rehab. Let’s make the system work for patients. #RightToRehab

🏠 Rehab at home works – and saves 💷

Early Supported Discharge (ESD) after stroke cuts hospital stay by up to 6 days – saving £1,600 per person and reducing the need for long-term care. Same recovery – lower cost.
