The Department for Health and Social Care is reviewing the NHS Constitution for the first time in ten years focusing on areas such as health disparities, person-led care, health and work, and leadership. We have proposed a number of changes including protection of physiotherapy space including gyms, consultation rooms and hydrotherapy pools. As well as highlighting the vital need for access to rehabilitation and self-management support for people with chronic long-term conditions.
We also recommended that the Constitution places greater emphasis on staff wellbeing including a right to staff welfare facilities, improved access to flexible working and prevention of race discrimination and sexual harassment.
