| Seán Hanley @Seanhanley94Me @physiotalk On my OPS ward main issue that I'm finding is the secondary dip. A lot of patients come in and get a COVID diagnosis. Get worked up to be D/C @ 5-7 but there tends to be a second wave of illness at the 10-14 day bracket which leads to decline/readmission/death. #physiotalk. |

| Cat Treharne @cattreharne @physiotalk Usual barriers..... Access to equipment, availability of care, lack of family support, reformed community services in response to priority's of current COVID 19.....Still waiting for the increase in demand on our services though at present, many are acute or unwell #physiotalk |

| #hellomynameis Adele @ABNeurophysio @JudeVBolton @physiotalk yes, we are finding basic things eg access to food, normal routines that held them / their lives together pre hospital has disappeared so people who would have coped living independently with light family support/routines are needing a lot more external support. #physiotalk |
| Emilia Bartram @EmOnTheBrain @physiotalk Not treating COVID patients on our neuro ward atm but discharging people earlier than usual to have capacity. Complex rehab needs ? met in the community and unsure of future possibilities for readmission. COVID pts seen in trauma taking longer to rehab, complicated! #physiotalk |
| physiotalk @physiotalk RT @VickiG_physio: what about delirium? #physiotalk |
| Rebecca Emmott @remmottphysio @JudeVBolton @physiotalk Agree with this 100% sooo many fabulous resources, however we need to ensure all patients can access. We are currently working on packs with information around energy conservation etc to hand out within community #physiotalk |
| Abi Hall @abijhall My concern is the number of non Covid patients we currently aren’t seeing and how much they will have deteriorated by the time we can see them. I think this will put an enormous pressure on teams.... let alone treating Covid+ patients #physiotalk |

| Sabrina Eggmann @SabrinaEggmann @physiotalk Agree with fatigue and loneliness #physiotalk |
| Seán Hanley @Seanhanley94Me @physiotalk The other main issues is fatigue, this virus seems to carry a bigger burden than a traditional flu/pneumonia.

 | Scott Gormley @scott89gormley @physiotalk 1. Fatigue 2. SOB, drop sats rapidly on minor effort 3. Isolation 4. Low mood 5. Globally weakness 6. Anxiety around being an inpatient due to covid. 7. Lack of relative support (if not tech savy) #physiotalk |
| Susan Cotton @susancotton18 @VickiG_physio @physiotalk Yes, for us anyway. I am in a community hospital, so generally our patients are a week or 2 (or significantly more) down their recovery pathway. We have pt's 10-14 days post diagnosis who are exhausted to step round from bed-chair, or even struggle to sit out of bed #physiotalk |

| Dr Melrose Stewart MBE @MelroseStewart1 @wil_shuv @physiotalk Interesting. When resources are limited, is this not what happens - urgent cases take priority? #physiotalk |

| WSHT Emergency Floor Therapies @WSHFT_EFtherapy @TomasInce @physiotalk Community rehab beds for those patients that require it. Community services with POC, OT, PT for those who will manage.

| Cath Edwards @cathedwards_1 @ILauragroom @Daleyfurter @physiotalk @wearetuhf Deffo useful! Don’t think we know the rehab trajectory yet of #COVID19 Do you think it might be similar to post exac COPD? Could we classify as mild, mod & severe too? #physiotalk |

| sgreensill @62Sgreensill @abijhall I think this will be a real concern. #physiotalk |
| Susan Bannister @su_bannister @KateBrown_phys @physiotalk @KateBrown_phys, i agree. There will be a cohort of patients who are discharged directly home from wards with no follow up due to the current restrictions on comm rehab. We need to ensure these patients are picked up and reviewed at some point #physiotalk |
| Prof Vicki Goodwin MBE @VickiG_physio @BreathePhysio @wilcoachterberg i agree with a 5 repeat chair stand #physiotalk |

| Edel McDaid @edelphysio @physiotalk @Kellyoak7 @remmottphysio @ClaireOCPhysio @abi_b2 Something @RoyalDonnybrook have started is an email address that families/friends can message with images that are then printed and given to patients/residents who don't have smart phone/tec abilities! Been a great success! #physiotalk |
| Claire Stain @ClaireStain92 @physiotalk We are trying to gain some consensus from services in the community in regard to what these patients can access and which teams will input to as ? when they become 'negative' or when viral load / shedding is reduced to a 'safe' level #physiotalk |
| @STHpulmonaryrehab @sthpulmonary #physiotalk when are post covid patients deem not infectious? this will influence when we can see patients at home |
| Millie Hansen22 @MillieRayner @physiotalk I’m concerned that due to the necessary reallocation of community teams to Urgent and acute services that the rehab of patients discharged post COVID won’t be as we would want it until things settle again and perhaps some patients will be lost in the system #physiotalk |

| Dr Angie Logan @logan_angie @PhysioArmstrong As always, very fast moving. Even with Tweet deck it’s a challenge keeping up. But the transcript will be available later which you can review at a slower pace! #physiotalk |
| Seán Hanley @Seanhanley94Me @physiotalk Main unexpected consequence isn't actually patient based but more around discharge. All referrals have been rolled into one super form, POC being organised in hours and patients not being held for days. Hopefully a change that will last after COVID. #physiotalk |
| @STHpulmonaryrehab @sthpulmonary @cattreharne #physiotalk were still accepting new PR referrals and are phoning triage and sending out letter explaining why the service is not running as normal. Also sensing out basic muscle strengthening ex out with the letter. |
| Rachael Colclough @BreathePhysio @physiotalk Amazing joint working with community provider. Ive spent 10 yes trying to establish a community resp team in my area. Im so proud of what we have achieved overnight. Lots of pre-covid planning stood us in good state for when we needed it. #physiotalk |
| Rebecca Emmott @remmottphysio @physiotalk not a directly patinet related answer but I think within community we have seen some fab outcomes with regard to MDT working- daily zoom meetings with the DN’s can only be a positive for patients and we can try to involve them in the rehab #physiotalk |
| Dale Whelehan @Daleyfurter @physiotalk And no better time than for an effective MDT to function. Establishing shared practice early on with our medical, nursing and AHP colleagues as to how we can ALL facilitate rehab of post-ICU patients at ward level #physiotalk |

| suzanna harless @suzannaelh @physiotalk They are definitely a lot more motivated to get up and going to get out of hospital. However I’m concerned about how quickly we sometimes get these people out. There is currently no follow up, are people coping at home after covid? #physiotalk |

| Edel McDaid @edelphysio @physiotalk #physiotalk Q3 From a rehab perspective lots of patients opting to dc earlier than planned/lots of MDTs taking making better use of community services to support more timely dc. Some learning I hope we (staff/pts/families) take back to "Ordinary Time" to be less risk adverse. |

| Wendy Johnson @PhysioSolution @physiotalk Is there potential value in gathering daily markers from many, many frail post-covid pts to rapidly ascertain trajectory for post-covid? eg daily self report via phone app, then rapid remote or f:f support if post-covid rehab or mental health input required? #physiotalk |
| Claire Stain @ClaireStain92 @CarolKeenPhysio @physiotalk We have had similar advice in regard to when patients can be de-escalated, as long as no further symptoms (different advice for immunocompromised) however we have had patients admitted after 2-3 weeks of symptoms which has thrown us off a little! #physiotalk |

| Seán Hanley @Seanhanley94Me Obviously my other unexpected consequence is the one I'm worried about, lack of non COVID diagnosis. Very little coming in so is everyone being blanket diagnosed, are people too afraid to attend Hospital or are the typical issues dying in community before hospital #physiotalk |
| Jennifer Kaye @jenckaye @Seanhanley94Me @physiotalk But also agree about meeting rehab needs and goals... Will we have the resource in the community to meet these needs? More integration between acute and community? Secondments of staff? #physiotalk |
