Physios make a big difference
Physiotherapists embedded in Wexham Park’s emergency department helped to prevent the equivalent of a whole ward of avoidable hospital admissions in their first two weeks. One experienced physio and a student, with senior support, joined the ED team on 5 June, complementing the occupational therapists (OTs) already there. The move has helped to improve joint working across teams in the department, including OT and frailty specialists.
