physiotherapy blog

So somewhere I've found motivation to reschedule things in my life and start up the blog again. The biggest barrier to writing was the fact that this whole thing seems the stuff that saddos do, stuck in their bedrooms on their own typing thoughts onto blogs that no on in the whole world will read, believing that somehow what they are doing counts for something. The thing that changed my view of all this was realising that I've made it to the first page of Google if you search for physiotherapy blog. THIS changes everything! Suddenly all these meaningless rantings take on the potential of changing the course of world physical therapy, expanding knowledge, moving everyone onwards. No I don't really believe this but there's now a chance that what I'm doing will move beyond the value attributed to it within my own illusions (or should that be delusions ?) Maybe someone will read this!

Unfortunately in these last few busy months I've lost a bit of the anger at the injustices in the NHS and the way that healthcare is delivered in the UK. I doubt if it is anything to do with a change of Prime Minister. I'm just feeling distracted by some of the other things Ive got on the go.But here's something to make you English physios rant. The grand pay award of 2.5% for this year will be paid in full to nurses (and presumably AHPs) in Scotland, NE., and Wales but looks like those in England won't get it in one go. Is this something to do with the fact that the new Prime Minister is a Scot and has a lack of loyalty towards English NHS staff? And what about all Gordon's talk of the NHS, what's going to happen ? I heard he wanted to find out the views of NHS staff but as I've said before we all know this will probably mean the two professions (doctors and nurses) which the Government seems to think make up the entire NHS. will be asked what they think and the rest of us won't get a look in. There was talk of NHs staff fatigue over NHs change. Too true, the Labour years have been ones of constant NHS restructuring in the name of progress.I was talking to a patient this week about the billions that have gone into the Health Service and I said that despite the billons that have been put into the NHS the phyios where I work are under greater financial pressure than ever before.
