 | Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 Hi. I'm one of the Physiotalk team on the account tonight, tweeting from Edinburgh as usual! #physiotalk |
 | Suk Wong (she/her) @SukWong9 @physiotalk Suki, neuro physio North West. #physiotalk |
 | CSP BAME Network @cspbame RT @physiotalk: |
 | Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @physiotalk Hello, Justine here, tweeting from (Sunny) Hertfordshire! #physiotalk |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk Well it's a yes from me. But very aware that I'm tweeting from a particular position (of a very non diverse background) #physiotalk |
| Suk Wong (she/her) @SukWong9 @physiotalk Yes. There is a lack of diversity for most of the protected characteristics #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @physiotalk Thank you. #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime RT @physiotalk: We are running tonights tweetchat in more of a debate style: |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime RT @LauraC_Physio: |
| Suk Wong (she/her) @SukWong9 @physiotalk #physiotalk Yes with regards to ethnicity which is not represented within the profession especially in the North |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk No - I'm from the white female majority that makes up the physiotherapy profession. And certainly where I live in Scotland, the wider diversity of population is not represented in our profession. #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @physiotalk I agree 💯. The physiotherapy profession needs to be more diverse. I've worked with many teams where I've been the only non-white team member. In some instances it's been tough to adjust & fit in, and other times it's been smooth sailing. #LocumPhysio #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime RT @MelroseStewart1: |
| Suk Wong (she/her) @SukWong9 @physiotalk #physiotalk I can only speak from where I have worked Sheffield/Wigan. Sheffield has a more diverse population with two universities but not represented in the profession. |
| Suk Wong (she/her) @SukWong9 @physiotalk #physiotalk I suppose it varies depending on cohort but larger percentage of international students Vs qualified therapists. But when they go out on placement on a less diverse placement, it might impact their perception |
| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk So many ways! We may not attract people who would be fantastic physios for a start! And we need to reflect the populations we treat as well. #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @physiotalk #BAME members are underrepresented in the physiotherapy and other @WeAHPs professions where I work and in many other parts of the UK. #physiotalk |
| Suk Wong (she/her) @SukWong9 @physiotalk We weren't taught at uni (back in the day) how bruising can appear different on darker skin, or why trans patients/ patients from certain cultures might be uncomfortable with undressing for a physio Ax. #physiotalk |
| Suk Wong (she/her) @SukWong9 @physiotalk #physiotalk I am unsure as I do not work within academia. I know there has been more discussions on twitter/social media. I feel students are more aware of diversity, perhaps because it is discussed more and they interact on social media? |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @physiotalk Different people know their communities' cultures, norms, taboos, challenges, etc. Lack of diversity in our teams limits our cultural awareness, which in turn can reduce the effectiveness of our physiotherapy interventions & worsen the gap in health inequalities. #physiotalk |

| Suk Wong (she/her) @SukWong9 @physiotalk #physiotalk I feel the environment of workplaces doesn't always lend itself to inclusivity. I.e. a busy acute ward can be very noisy (I e. hearing impairment), sensory overload, not wheelchair accessible etc |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @MelroseStewart1 @physiotalk @WeAHPs You are right @MelroseStewart1. It could also be due to awareness of the profession's existence. Personally, I'd never heard of Physiotherapy until I read it on the equivalent of the 'UCAS' application form. I only put it on the list because it had a nice ring to it! #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime RT @MelroseStewart1: |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @physiotalk @WeAHPs Traditionally, the options for being a health care professional were 'doctor' and 'nurse', and this is still the case in some people's minds. Media has a big part to play too. #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @MelroseStewart1 @physiotalk @WeAHPs We've come a long way, yet still a long way to go! #physiotalk #diversity |

| Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47 @physiotalk This one really interested me as a question. It is something I have never considered - but the more I think about it, the more that I wonder! #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @physiotalk Extremely underfunded and not prioritised as it should be. #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime RT @JustineMusiime: @MelroseStewart1 @physiotalk @WeAHPs We've come a long way, yet still a long way to go! #physiotalk #diversity |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime RT @physiotalk: |
 | Brighton Paradza @BParadza @physiotalk Poverty & gender inequality are a reflection of the global society that we live in & affects all and the solutions les in how the profession engages as part of the global agenda & community #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @physiotalk We could do better! I think our differences make some people think that we are not good enough, or we are not worthy. Like someone saying that one is 'too passionate' or 'too loud' etc, & using that to deny someone an opportunity... I think that is not fair at all. #physiotalk |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @physiotalk @thecsp Shameless plug for @Srikesavan who is a @cspbame member. 🔉🔊 #physiotalk |

| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @physiotalk Thank you @physiotalk for being the platform where we get to have all these amazing and all-important discussions. Here's to the next 200 #physiotalk chats! |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime RT @MelroseStewart1: |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime RT @physiotalk: Q7: |
| Justine Musiime - MSc MPH MCSP @JustineMusiime @physiotalk I've seen research (PhD) funding opportunities that openly exclude non-'home students'. This obviously excludes all physiotherapists who do not have UK citizenship or Indefinite Leave to Remain, thus limiting their chances of getting to work in research #Physiotalk |
