Covid-19 has changed the world in the short term, maybe the forever and many of us are isolated like never before. Out of the gloom comes rays of light that make this situation so much better. Some of these rays of light may just change therapy for the better, engagement for the better and turn what seems like a negative into a positive using ingenuity and team work. We bring you one of the brightest lights. Joost, Roger, Meike and Nokuthula talk us through the Quarantrain project which is bringing people and therapists together across the globe. A true inspiration in finding new ways to engage people and to share ideas. Unbelievable work is being done. Check the website here Quarantrain.org Follow @physionokuthula @jowi1 @RogerKerry1 @guertsonmeike and @QuaranTraining on twitter and if you can. GET INVOLVED.

Emergency session 4 is a bit different, a little bit like combining a Patient Matters and a Health Matters but it is pertinent and amazing.  Heather Watson takes us through her personal journey of the last 12-18 months and some amazing tips on how to care for yourself in these crazy times.

Every now and then however we smash even our own high standards and bring you something that is absolutely mind blowingly good.  This is one of those.  Scott Buxton articulates the nuance and complexity of the assessment and management of the older person with regards to Frailty in such a digestible way, if this podcast doesnt change your practice somehow then we will be mightily surprised.

Welcome to the penultimate Health Matters and this one touches on a very tough subject! Opioids are in the news a lot these days and there are moves away from over prescription. Where do Therapists fit into all this? How can we help both on an individual level and a population level.  First we must understand the medications, the problems and how we can help. Helen Liddell experts guides us through all the queries and this is mandatory listening!

The Flippin’ Pain Initiative is a public health campaign run by Connect Health and is a project that aims to bring contemporary pain understanding to the Lincolnshire community.  In February, they launched the Flippin’ Pain brand and set out to flip the understanding of a room full of people with persistent pain with the help of pain Professors Lorimer Moseley and Cormac Ryan and set up by Connect's Head of NHS Service Development Richard Pell.   We were lucky enough to be able to send Felicity Thow with a camera and a mic to hold these three legends up for an hour on the day and even luckier that they agreed – we can’t thank Connect, Richard, Lorimer and Cormac enough for their time.  Here’s what we ended up with: a podcast about bringing pain education to the masses and our role in public health within our communities.
