The CSP East of England Regional Network is asking local CSP members to share how they are supporting the Stronger My Way campaign and offering the chance to win a SMW strength kit.
What is Stronger My Way?
The Stronger My Way online hub contains the why and the how you need to talk more about strength. The ‘one stop shop’ of strengthening resources to help empower your patients to become stronger is online here.
With input from people living with long-term conditions, physiotherapy staff and other key stakeholders, the hub’s content considers the key barriers and motivators when it comes to strengthening. It delivers everything you need to know about strengthening activity!
Healthcare professionals helping people to feel stronger will find the evidence base, links to training and resources, and a forum to share information and experiences.
Patients who want to get stronger can find videos, supporting resources and stories about people living with health conditions.
Eyes on the prize!
A versatile strength kit is up for grabs and will include hand weights, resistance bands, arm trainers, a yoga mat and pull up bands.
The kit could be used in a variety of settings, from inpatient wards, outpatient clinics, in the community in both the NHS or private setting.
Get involved!
