Now is a critical time • More older people with complex needs• People have to be fit to work longer• Individuals needs are important• Quality – is essential • Funding – less money is available

Physiotherapy can offer solutions • Clinically effective and cost-effective care• Expertise in rehabilitation and self-management • Holistic and person-centred approach • Preventing ill health

But decision makers, patients & public may not know this

Use every opportunity • Tell friends, family and colleagues about physiotherapy• Use CSP resources to spread the word • Make ‘every contact count’• Find out what is happening locally • Find out who makes decisions, offer them solutions • Network and share
