2 of our fab physiotherapists @APL_Physio @nickyj93 have set up the @opalassessunit ‘Step into Christmas’ December theme to build upon our recent OT lead deconditioning project They have set up an interactive board to engage staff and patients 🎄🎅 The aim is to collectively walk to the North Pole by Christmas Eve 🚶 So far it’s been a fantastic MDT and patient effort 🤩…and it’s only day 2!! @dr_sally_briggs @WythenshaweHosp @MFT_CSSAHPs @FallsWtwa @BeckieHughes8 @AGILECSP
