Physiotherapist Dan Moore is so passionate about the role physios play at CHFT he's turned World Physiotherapy Day into a three day event....even negiotating a prize of free gym membership as a quiz prize.
Dan told us "Many people associate physiotherapy with walking older people up and down corridors or giving massages. I wanted to shout up to say we're skilled professionals with degrees and a high level of knowledge around anatomy and physiology. I just wanted to show the public and colleagues we have a range of fantastic skills".
Dan's stall will be up in the reception at CRH until tomorrow (9th Sept). It's an opportunity for physical therapists to raise awareness about the crucial contribution the profession makes to keeping people well, mobile and independent and the incredible role they play within the community.
Dan asked for a special mention of thanks to go to Jeannette in ISS for providing the free fruit (now you know where the bananas came from!) and to WH Smith for providing some sweets.
And he also sends a massive thanks to 24/7 Fitness in Halifax for donating a free gym pass as a quiz prize.
