| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @PaulChapman09: @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk Not always they sometimes give acouple of months free #physiotalk |
| Catherine Sapsford @Catheri81041276 @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk #physiotalk ok, I read it in their readmission form guidelines, since I will not be working till mid-May thought I'd wait, although a bit of an anti-climax to have forms ready to go but not sent! |
| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @physjo: @physiotalk Hi from @Airedaleahps we love our RtP colleagues #physiotalk |
| Jana Beth @JBeth_Physio @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk Congrats to completing all your hours, Catherine! 🙌🎉 #physiotalk #iamreadytoreturn |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk @NHS_HealthEdEng has supported over 120+ physiotherapist innthe last 4 years to #iamreadytoreturn #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk OK Now the polls are out - lets get started with the first question #physiotalk |
| Jana Beth @JBeth_Physio @PaulChapman09 @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk Oh, that's good to know! 👍#physiotalk #iamreadytoreturn |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @physjo @physiotalk @Airedaleahps And we love our RtP friendly organisations - great to have you here thank you #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk Q: Do you understand the HCPC Return to Practice guidance? #physiotalk |
 | Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk Great news Catherine #physiotalk #iamreadytoreturn |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk Worth contacting them #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 RT @physjo: @physiotalk Hi from @Airedaleahps we love our RtP colleagues #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk And judging by comments already - perhaps some sections are not as clear as they could be?? #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @physjo @physiotalk @Airedaleahps Thanks for your support #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk There are different payment options you can choose from to paying up front to direct debit options etc that they send you on a portal #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @NatMatchOT: @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk There are different payment options you can choose from to paying up front to direct debit options etc that they send you on a portal #physiotalk |
| Catherine Sapsford @Catheri81041276 @JBeth_Physio @physiotalk Thankyou! Good luck to you, I'm happy to chat if you need support anytime 😊 #physiotalk |
| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk I think in their attempt to be extremely flexible, somethings can appear ambiguous at times #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @AnnaBoylan: @physiotalk I think in their attempt to be extremely flexible, somethings can appear ambiguous at times #physiotalk |
| Jana Beth @JBeth_Physio @physiotalk I'd say so, yes. Had a couple of questions at the start as I had worked internationally, but contacted HCPC to clarify and it was cleared up very quickly 👌 #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk @AnnaBoylan Do you think its just needing clarification in their wording - or a clearer approach overall? #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk Remember is for guidance. RtP is self directed and managed by the returner Allow for felxibility Have over 15 registered professions to support #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk @JBeth_Physio So well worth speaking to someone at HCPC directly? #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 RT @physiotalk: @AnnaBoylan Do you think its just needing clarification in their wording - or a clearer approach overall? #physiotalk |
| Jana Beth @JBeth_Physio @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk Thank you! Not quite there yet, but I might get back to you later down the line :) #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @PaulChapman09: @physiotalk Remember is for guidance. RtP is self directed and managed by the returner Allow for felxibility Have over 15 registered professions to support #physiotalk |
| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk They are in the process of putting together a webinar on return to practice I believe, I think normally they are easy to contact and discuss any queries though, it’s just a bit intimidating at the start #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 RT @physiotalk: @JBeth_Physio So well worth speaking to someone at HCPC directly? #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk @JBeth_Physio Yes they are keen to support and will be able to guide #physiotalk |
| Jana Beth @JBeth_Physio @physiotalk Absolutely. If you're unsure about something or if you're circumstances are unusual, definitely get in touch with HCPC. They're helpful. #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk Do you feel more structure on updating would be helpful? What you recommend to the HCPC if you could feedback that you need form a Returnee perspective to make the process more easier? #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 RT @JBeth_Physio: @physiotalk Absolutely. If you're unsure about something or if you're circumstances are unusual, definitely get in touch with HCPC. They're helpful. #physiotalk |
| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan I think this is the hard part to get your head around at the start for the returnee and anyone supervising any practical experience |
| physiotalk @physiotalk @PaulChapman09 How much can you veer from their guidance? Do they look at each case individually? #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @JBeth_Physio: @physiotalk Absolutely. If you're unsure about something or if you're circumstances are unusual, definitely get in touch with HCPC. They're helpful. #physiotalk |

| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan I think this is the hard part to get your head around at the start for the returnee and anyone supervising any practical experience #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @AnnaBoylan That was te reason @NHS_HealthEdEng ptogramme was esstablished to try and support #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk Some great advice so far - and good to know the HCPC are keep to support returners. I wonder if the number of returners has been much higher this year with people keen to help? #physiotalk |
| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan @PaulChapman09 @NHS_HealthEdEng Yes and the advice and supportive group has been incredible #physiotalk |
| Catherine Sapsford @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk I found the combination of reading the HCPC guidance, and their booklet, plus articles from CSP helped me figure out what I needed to do. The info provided by HEE was helpful too even though I'm from abroad it was very encouraging #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @physiotalk @PaulChapman09 Always relate your return and updating of of any knowledge and skills gaps to your professions standards of proficiency as a good rule of thumb #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk The guidance does allow for flexibility RtP is about updating skills and knwoledge. Basically CPD. #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @PaulChapman09 @AnnaBoylan @NHS_HealthEdEng I know I've asked you directly - but for the tweetchat - any programmes in the other nations? #physiotalk |
| Jana Beth @JBeth_Physio @NatMatchOT @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk I think it can be intimidating at the start of the journey to have such 'open' guidance. A bit more direction re where to start could be helpful. However, there are definitely pros to the flexibility as well once you get your head around it! #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 RT @AnnaBoylan: @PaulChapman09 @NHS_HealthEdEng Yes and the advice and supportive group has been incredible #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 RT @physiotalk: Some great advice so far - and good to know the HCPC are keep to support returners. I wonder if the number of returners has been much higher this year with people keen to help? #physiotalk |
| Catherine Sapsford @Catheri81041276 @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk I found them a bit slow to respond to email queries though, almost 2 weeks #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk Lets move onto the next question And great to see the hashtagging so far - keep it up :! #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @JBeth_Physio: @NatMatchOT @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk I think it can be intimidating at the start of the journey to have such 'open' guidance. A bit more direction re where to start could be helpful. However, there are definitely pros to the flexibility as well once you get your head around it! #physiotalk |
| Jana Beth @JBeth_Physio @AnnaBoylan @PaulChapman09 @NHS_HealthEdEng Fully agree! The peer support has been incredible! 💯 #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk Q: What are the main barriers to physiotherapists returning to the register? #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk I think people dip their toe n the water but organisations have been slow to pick up support #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @physiotalk Did you know for supervised practice as long as you are working alongside someone from your profession on the HCPC register – you can work within a a MDT team to support you day to day and not necessarily working in same room as your supervisor #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 RT @JBeth_Physio: @AnnaBoylan @PaulChapman09 @NHS_HealthEdEng Fully agree! The peer support has been incredible! 💯 #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 RT @Catheri81041276: @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk I found them a bit slow to respond to email queries though, almost 2 weeks #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk @PaulChapman09 One for the next again question really :) #physiotalk |
| Catherine Sapsford @Catheri81041276 @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk I ended up calling but had to wait in a queue over 30mins so a rather expensive way to communicate from abroad #physiotalk |
| Jo Sainty 💙💛 @physjo @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk I think sometimes we can be guilty of looking for complexity in the process, when it is flexible and allows for different options #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @Catheri81041276 @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk COVID has not helped #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @NatMatchOT: @physiotalk Did you know for supervised practice as long as you are working alongside someone from your profession on the HCPC register – you can work within a a MDT team to support you day to day and not necessarily working in same room as your supervisor #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @physiotalk COVID-19 been a double edge sword - seen increase to enquiries and sign up to national HEE RtP programme but then difficulties in returning/updating for those wanting a clinical supervised parctce element #physiotalk |
| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan @JBeth_Physio @PaulChapman09 @NHS_HealthEdEng Just knowing others were also returning after a long career break was a fantastic help and others that had achieved it #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk Organisation thinking it is too complicated #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 RT @physiotalk: Q: Q: What are the main barriers to physiotherapists returning to the register? #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 RT @AnnaBoylan: @JBeth_Physio @PaulChapman09 @NHS_HealthEdEng Just knowing others were also returning after a long career break was a fantastic help and others that had achieved it #physiotalk |
| Jana Beth @JBeth_Physio @physiotalk Finding a placement has definitely been challenging! The options are out there and once you get through to the right person (eg. Therapy leads) everyone I've talked to was amazing and super helpful! #physiotalk @ArdittoClaire @SleddingFreya @physjo 👏 |
| physiotalk @physiotalk @NatMatchOT So linked to the last question - getting supervised practice may be the main barrier perhaps? #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @AnnaBoylan @JBeth_Physio @NHS_HealthEdEng Our record is returning a 65 year old #physiotalk |
 | Freya Sledding 💙 @SleddingFreya RT @JBeth_Physio: @physiotalk Finding a placement has definitely been challenging! The options are out there and once you get through to the right person (eg. Therapy leads) everyone I've talked to was amazing and super helpful! #physiotalk @ArdittoClaire @SleddingFreya @physjo 👏 |
| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk @PaulChapman09 The onus is on you as the practitioner to update your knowledge to meet your standards #physiotalk |
 | Lucy Truscott @truscott_l Since I moved to an area totally new to me, I found it tricky to find the right people to contact in my local trust. But I found the RtP fb page really helpful too plus support from @PaulChapman09 #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk As a placement coordinator for a local HEI I know getting student placements has been more challenging due to COVID - I'm sure its the same for RtP supervision as well. #physiotalk |
| Jo Sainty 💙💛 @physjo @NatMatchOT @physiotalk But we are always looking at recruitment opportunities, even through covid and RtP is a great way of introducing a prospective future employee to the organisation #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk @NatMatchOT Only a barrier becuase not all organisations have sytems in place #physiotalk |
 | Airedale AHPs 💙 @Airedaleahps RT @NatMatchOT: @physjo @physiotalk @Airedaleahps And we love our RtP friendly organisations - great to have you here thank you #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @physjo @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk Exactly this Jo! RtP national and regional processes exist to support HCPC RtP requirements but need more awareness and more about winning hearts and minds I think! #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 RT @physjo: @NatMatchOT @physiotalk But we are always looking at recruitment opportunities, even through covid and RtP is a great way of introducing a prospective future employee to the organisation #physiotalk |
| Catherine Sapsford @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk #physiotalk mustering the courage after 14 years away! |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk @NatMatchOT Is there the equivalent in England of our AHP Practice Education Leads in each board in Scotland? I'm sure they would coordinate enquiries locally as part of their role (guessing but I'm sure they would!) #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk Yes agree a real challenge #physiotalk |
| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk @NatMatchOT I get that impression from the group and it took me 6 months of badgering my local trust, they said things were delayed by covid - they must roll their eyes when they see my name! #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 RT @NatMatchOT: @physjo @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk Exactly this Jo! RtP national and regional processes exist to support HCPC RtP requirements but need more awareness and more about winning hearts and minds I think! #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk @Catheri81041276 Fabulous that you have though! #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT RT @physjo: @NatMatchOT @physiotalk But we are always looking at recruitment opportunities, even through covid and RtP is a great way of introducing a prospective future employee to the organisation #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk OK - time to broaden the question to ALL of us who could support a returner... #physiotalk |
| Jo Sainty 💙💛 @physjo @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk @NatMatchOT There is a small financial incentive for the teams to support RtP which can be used for those little extras in the workplace that make everyone’s lives a little better, lots of plus’ for supporting #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk Barriers can be due to no centralised point of contact and some lack of understanding of HCPC RtP requirements - can now use virtual and simulated supervised practice too which the HCPC will consider towards hours/days updating, need to think out the box #physiotalk |
| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk I think finding someone to offer you a placement, the support and the appropriate opportunities to do clinical hours #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk Q: What are the main barriers for organisations supporting returnees #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT RT @physjo: @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk @NatMatchOT There is a small financial incentive for the teams to support RtP which can be used for those little extras in the workplace that make everyone’s lives a little better, lots of plus’ for supporting #physiotalk |
| Catherine Sapsford @Catheri81041276 @NatMatchOT @physiotalk @PaulChapman09 #physiotalk I used a mapping tool provided by the CSP to assess where you are in relation to the CSP Physiotherapy Framework. I found it really useful to work out where I should prioritise my updating in terms of knowledge, skills and understanding |
| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @physjo: @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk @NatMatchOT There is a small financial incentive for the teams to support RtP which can be used for those little extras in the workplace that make everyone’s lives a little better, lots of plus’ for supporting #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk A really helpful tip! #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk No clear process / plan in place and not having as part of their worforce stategies #physiotalk |
| Jana Beth @JBeth_Physio @Catheri81041276 @NatMatchOT @physiotalk @PaulChapman09 How have I not come across this mapping tool yet!? 🤯 Do you have a link at all? #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk Proof never too late to return! To anyone else unsure ask yourself what drives you and if that is being a Physio go for it! Well done you! #physiotalk |
| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk @AHPLeader @TheACPRC can we do more to help respiratory physios return to practice? #physiotalk |
| Catherine Sapsford @Catheri81041276 @AnnaBoylan @JBeth_Physio @PaulChapman09 @NHS_HealthEdEng #physiotalk Really grateful to have reached out a few weeks ago as getting in touch with others has been so encouraging at a time when I was having a last minute wobble! |
| physiotalk @physiotalk Wow - halfway through the hour already! Some great discussions around returning to practice and great tips from those going through the process AND those supporting them as well #physiotalk k |
| Jo Sainty 💙💛 @physjo @NatMatchOT @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk Agree having a strong advocate for the process within an organisation and a process to work through really helps to engage others to support #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @Catheri81041276 @AnnaBoylan @JBeth_Physio @PaulChapman09 @NHS_HealthEdEng Peer support to RtP is invaluable, we always try and buddy or connect returners :) #physiotalk |
| Catherine Sapsford @Catheri81041276 @NatMatchOT @physiotalk #physiotalk Covid acted as a catalyst for me to finally find the courage to return |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @NatMatchOT @Catheri81041276 @AnnaBoylan @JBeth_Physio @NHS_HealthEdEng Past returners are the experts we have over 500 in England with Support from @NHS_HealthEdEng #iamreadytoreturn #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk @PaulChapman09 Great to use professional body support and resources, often relate to 4 pillars of practice which really helpful way to structure RtP #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk @JBeth_Physio @Catheri81041276 @NatMatchOT @PaulChapman09 Think you need to be logged into CSP website but follow this link and go to dashboard #physiotalk https://t.co/ktyl1EsVFH |
| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan @Catheri81041276 @NatMatchOT @physiotalk @PaulChapman09 Is it the grid? That is useful #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk Or perhaps we could ask - what are the barriers for YOU supporting a returner to practice? #physiotalk |
| Jana Beth @JBeth_Physio @physiotalk @Catheri81041276 @NatMatchOT @PaulChapman09 Thank you ❤️ #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk POLL: Did you struggle finding supervised practice placements as part of your updating? #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @JanetThomas47 @AnnaBoylan @NHS_HealthEdEng No established programme like @NHS_HealthEdEng but both Scotland and Wales do offer minor support #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @AnnaBoylan Agree - anyone just starting as well as HCPC forms to download and start collecting evidence - check out the competencies for your profession, work out your gaps, focus, needs and draft a learning plan #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk Time to move onto our next question - time is getting on in the hour! #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk Q: What are the benefits and qualities that physio returners bring to our services? #physiotalk |
| Airedale AHPs 💙 @Airedaleahps RT @physjo: @NatMatchOT @physiotalk But we are always looking at recruitment opportunities, even through covid and RtP is a great way of introducing a prospective future employee to the organisation #physiotalk |
 | Jo Kitchen @J0Physio @physiotalk Being asked! It just hasn’t happened. Knowing what the process is to make sure we are completing the right steps #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @JanetThomas47 @AnnaBoylan @NHS_HealthEdEng I thin since we satarted the programme the @The_HCPC have become more responsive and supportive when it come to #iamreadytoreturn #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @J0Physio @physiotalk Can you explain more #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @J0Physio @physiotalk Very true! I've never been asked in many years of practice. Wonder what the regional / national variations for RtP are? #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @physiotalk Returnees have so much skills and experience that can make a big difference to patients, clients, carers and their families - they are qualified just not on the register #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk I think this is the key point - returners ARE qualified professionals #physiotalk |
 | Karen Thomas @Karen_ThPCU RT @physjo: @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk @NatMatchOT There is a small financial incentive for the teams to support RtP which can be used for those little extras in the workplace that make everyone’s lives a little better, lots of plus’ for supporting #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @JanetThomas47 @J0Physio @physiotalk Think the issue is returners not sure who to ask Requests get lost in the system or no response #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @physiotalk: Q: Q: What are the benefits and qualities that physio returners bring to our services? #physiotalk |
| Jo Sainty 💙💛 @physjo @physiotalk Life experience, past experience, passion for the profession, dedication to reach their goals, enthusiasm .... #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 RT @physiotalk: Q: Q: What are the benefits and qualities that physio returners bring to our services? #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk with on average 9 years clinical experience working at Band 7 #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @AnnaBoylan For those starting out did you know any paid employment (including support worker or specific RtP roles) or volunteering you undertake alongside a member of your own profession can be used to count towards your hours & submitted to the HCPC asevidence for registration #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @PaulChapman09 @J0Physio @physiotalk So how to streamline this process? Knowing who to contact is tough - very few hospital / NHS websites have anything more than their outpatient reception number! #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 RT @NatMatchOT: @AnnaBoylan For those starting out did you know any paid employment (including support worker or specific RtP roles) or volunteering you undertake alongside a member of your own profession can be used to count towards your hours & submitted to the HCPC asevidence for registration #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @PaulChapman09: @physiotalk with on average 9 years clinical experience working at Band 7 #physiotalk |
| Jana Beth @JBeth_Physio @PaulChapman09 @JanetThomas47 @J0Physio @physiotalk I think advertising assistant / Band 5 roles and including return to practice key words could really help to recruit returnees as well #physiotalk |
| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan @NatMatchOT Yes I have been fortunate enough to be employed as a bank therapy support worker at @gloshospitals they have been really supportive, I know not everyone is fortunate enough to be paid which is another barrier when you have childcare costs to cover #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk @PaulChapman09 So on return to most go back to their previous speciality? Be far more difficult to return / be in supervised practice in an area they are not familiar with? #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @JanetThomas47 @J0Physio @physiotalk Some organisation websites now have specific RTP adverts or encourage returners to contact them #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk And more and more after re-registration not just going back into Band 5 roes but Band 6 and Band 7! have wealth of expertise and knowledge/skills, Organisations starting to recognise the value of the Returner workforce #physiotalk |

| physiotalk @physiotalk Two more questions to go - so get ready for the next question coming up now #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk No have examples of returners looking at a new area to work. Not about learning news skills but updating skills and knowledge #physiotalk |
| Jo Kitchen @J0Physio @PaulChapman09 @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk Any chance you could share an example of an advert like that? #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 RT @NatMatchOT: @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk And more and more after re-registration not just going back into Band 5 roes but Band 6 and Band 7! have wealth of expertise and knowledge/skills, Organisations starting to recognise the value of the Returner workforce #physiotalk |
| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk I think it’s good for both the employers and returnees to remember we are qualified and we may bring lots of additional skills to our professional@ones through other employment, volunteering and life experience gained during our time away #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @physiotalk: POLL: POLL: Have you or your organisation supported a Physiotherapist Returning to Practice in last 4 years? #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @physiotalk: POLL: POLL: Are you a physiotherapist that has returned to practice in the last 4 years? #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk Q: Where do you see professional body roles in supporting RtP? #physiotalk |
| Jana Beth @JBeth_Physio @physiotalk @PaulChapman09 That's the beauty of RtP being so flexible. You've done all the training already, so you can either re-invent yourself within your profession or get back to what you left. Anything is possible. It's a great position to be in and it's an opportunity to be brave 👍 #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @J0Physio @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk NHS jobs good place to look #physiotalk |

| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @JBeth_Physio @physiotalk Agree #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @JanetThomas47 @PaulChapman09 @J0Physio @physiotalk Link in with partnering Organisations develop a community of practice for RtP, advertise on external websites show that you are returner friendly trust. Link in with your Regional RtP/AHP Leads or AHP Faculties where RtP on agenda & help facilitate supervised practice #physiotalk |

| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk Think they need to raise the profile of RtP. Some provide educed membership #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 I'm finding this discussion really interesting - I did 'leave' my post for 7 years (20 odd years ago now!) but continued to do on-call only until I 'returned' Lots chiming with me in the comments! #physiotalk |

| Catherine Sapsford @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk @PaulChapman09 #physiotalk I have focused period of updating on Cardiac Rehab, as I plan to work in this area. Looks like I'll continue on a volunteer basis for a while after I register, as no job opening just yet. CR was cancx over last year due to covid so wasn't able to do placement |

| physiotalk @physiotalk Comments that the @thecsp framework useful - but is it promoted enough as a tool? #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk @PaulChapman09 Local CR now returning virtually - could you do a placement anywhere in the UK but virtually? #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk #physiotalk |
| Jo Kitchen @J0Physio @NatMatchOT @PaulChapman09 @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk Thanks, in the past we’ve struggled to recruit to some great band 6 posts that I imagine would be appealing for returners #physiotalk |
| Jo Sainty 💙💛 @physjo @physiotalk Positive promotion of the process and benefits to teams and individuals, case studies and returnee stories #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @JanetThomas47 @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk We have discussed about arms-length supervison #physiotalk |
| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk It spurred me on as I felt hugely guilty as a respiratory physio that I wasn’t helping, however actually returning has been hindered by covid #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk @J0Physio @NatMatchOT @PaulChapman09 @JanetThomas47 Agree! #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @J0Physio @NatMatchOT @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk Yes alot want to return part time as well #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @J0Physio @PaulChapman09 @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk You've got it - key to have RtP on workforce plans and use as recruitment and retention tool and fast track to speciality or hard to fill vacancies #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @PaulChapman09 @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk I imagine all of the innovative solutions for student placements could equally apply for RtP supervision?? #physiotalk |

| physiotalk @physiotalk Time for our final question as we head towards the end of the hour #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @JanetThomas47 @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk yep Returners can also aupport students like SW do #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk Q: How do we retain and grow the Returner workforce together? #physiotalk |
| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk @thecsp I think more could be done directing returnees to specific resources, that would be helpful #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @Catheri81041276: @physiotalk @thecsp #physiotalk I found it here... on their e-learning e-bites https://t.co/CP7GFAjChl |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @JanetThomas47 @PaulChapman09 @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk Yes yes and yes! Split placements, peer models, sharing in teams/Organisations/Depts, virtual or simulated - all can be used for Returner placements! #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @NatMatchOT: @JanetThomas47 @PaulChapman09 @Catheri81041276 @physiotalk Yes yes and yes! Split placements, peer models, sharing in teams/Organisations/Depts, virtual or simulated - all can be used for Returner placements! #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk @thecsp We are on the case but remember we are support 15 professions so need to be generic in the locations #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT RT @physjo: @physiotalk Positive promotion of the process and benefits to teams and individuals, case studies and returnee stories #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk Make the roles appealing and provide infrastructure to support and develop #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @physjo @physiotalk We have examples of these too on our HEE RtP HCPC website :) #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk That is the hour up! #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk If somebody going to leave make sure they know how to return #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk HUGE thanks to @NatMatchOT and @PaulChapman09 for their support and tweeting during tonights chat #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk Encourage and enguage with them so not make it difficult #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk @NatMatchOT @PaulChapman09 I suspect the transcript will provide a huge source of information and inspiration thanks to their tweets alongside those of the returners on the chat #physiotalk |
| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk @thecsp Yes I think it could be more obvious on the individual professions eg The CSP website though, maybe it would also raise the profile of RtP among physios that could support too? #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT @physiotalk @PaulChapman09 You’re welcome 😊 Thank you for having us and any support further to those that want to return or host a returner please don’t hesitate to DM me or contact me on R2PAHP-HCS@hee.nhs.uk #physiotalk |

| Jana Beth @JBeth_Physio @physiotalk Wow, that was intense — my first #physiotalk! Lots of valuable information, resources and insights shared from everyone involved. Great chat, thank you for organising this @physiotalk @NatMatchOT @PaulChapman09! 🙌 #iamreadytoreturn |

| Jo Kitchen @J0Physio @physiotalk Knowing it’s possible to return! Having points of contact rather than the process depending on who you know for placements sounds like it would be really helpful #physiotalk |
| Natalie Matchett @NatMatchOT RT @JBeth_Physio: @physiotalk Wow, that was intense — my first #physiotalk! Lots of valuable information, resources and insights shared from everyone involved. Great chat, thank you for organising this @physiotalk @NatMatchOT @PaulChapman09! 🙌 #iamreadytoreturn |
| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan @physiotalk Thank you so much for raising the profile of returning to practice, if more people are aware of the support they can offer to returnees it may make the process less challenging and hopefully they will gain a returnee with a breadth of skills and experience to offer #physiotalk |
| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @J0Physio @physiotalk Worth cahtting with @NatMatchOT who can put you in touch with other organisations. Get all #AHPs in the organisations invloved strength in numbers.#physiotalk |

| physiotalk @physiotalk @AnnaBoylan It was a suggested topic from a potential returnee - always good to respond to a request with such a relevant topic. Hopefully those who have seen the chat will have had the topic highlighted to them #physiotalk |

| Paul_Chapman09 @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk @AnnaBoylan Hope it has been of some help. 5 years ago #iamreadytoreturn was on the difficult to do pile now it is on the agenda as a workforce solution #physiotalk |
| Anna Roach-Rooke @AnnaBoylan @PaulChapman09 @physiotalk I would have really struggled to even get started without the support, it can feel very overwhelming at times! #physiotalk |

 | Claire Arditto @ArdittoClaire RT @JBeth_Physio: @physiotalk Finding a placement has definitely been challenging! The options are out there and once you get through to the right person (eg. Therapy leads) everyone I've talked to was amazing and super helpful! #physiotalk @ArdittoClaire @SleddingFreya @physjo 👏 |
