#Rehab has played 2nd fiddle to Admission red

to the extent that skilled Therapy practitions have become more generic, & #AHPs have been replaced by unregistered (but able) staff.
#Community #MDTs have become the repository of #AllThingsCommunity & #Rehab has become the role of #SpecialistTeams. https://therapy2optimum.wordpress.com/2020/02/01/generalism-as-a-specialism/...

the exceptions have been people who live #TooRurally or with multi-pathologies, who don't sit neatly into #PathwaysOfCare.
The #AHPs are then left with managing #Rehab in a complex situation, with few resources & (now) diminished skills in pure #Rehabilitation...

It's not just the patients who will need rehab. The junior clinicians will need #FastTrack learning in managing the skills of #Rehab in non- Acute setting.
Senior #AHPs will need to disentangle from the drive to be part of #AcuteServicesByProxy & resume Treating patients.

#Rehabilitation is a Significant role of #OccupationalTherapists & #physiotherapists, the emphasis now changes to exploring the dynamics in a more long-term model, ideally suited to #Community settings.

may not have utilised in such extremes, or numbers.
It will be a time of learning for all #Therapists. It may be an opportunity to truly emphasise the significance & role of #ComunityMDTs in primary care, & promote #SocialCare in the dynamic.

The #PathwaysOfCare will emerge from the initial f2f interactions with early COVID patients & will shape patterns of intervention. #Research will need to be undertaken on small cohorts, in quick snap shots & collated quickly for best practice to be established.
@SuzanneRastrick is anyone undertaking such work? Fully appreciate that emphasis is on #Acute need but the next #PerfectStorm for #Rehabilitation is also on the horizon.
