             Physio staff deliver life-changing rehab to stroke survivors like David every day. Yet only 1 in 3 physios say they have enough staff to do their jobs properly. That is not good enough. There must be urgent investment in services & the workforce. #RightToRehab #WorldStrokeDay

             Today is #WorldStrokeDay - a reminder that timely care and access to rehabilitation can transform lives, help people regain independence, rebuild confidence, and reconnect people with daily life. 
           Investing in stroke prevention, treatment, and rehab NOW could save the NHS tens of billions every year by 2035. More importantly, it will save lives. Join @MuniraWilson live on Parliament TV later today as they discuss the need to #MakeStrokeAPriority this #WorldStrokeDay. 👇

             Without protected rehab space we can’t deliver effective time critical stroke rehab. This causes: longer length of stay due to slower recovery = increased hospital pressures poorer patient outcomes = ⬇️ QoL, higher dependency levels, readmissions & ongoing community care needs.
