Objectives: To present a description of Critical Care Physiotherapy provision in a London Hospital. Describing the volume and nature of physiotherapy interventions and time to activity milestones in our COVID-19 population.
Methods: Physiotherapy intervention data was collected between 2nd November 2020 - 28th February 2021, coinciding with the second COVID-19 pandemic surge.
Results: 312 patients were included, with 8,249 physiotherapy interventions. Secretion management had the highest frequency intervention from 70-86% across the four months. The achievement of mobility milestones was slower than pre-COVID populations. The average admission and discharge CPAx score was 10.4 and 24.7 respectively.
Conclusions: There is clear focus of interventions for respiratory optimisation and secretion management as opposed to rehabilitation and functional outcomes. It is unclear whether changes in staffing have an impact on time to activity milestones on our COVID-19 population.

Objectives: To present a description of Critical Care Physiotherapy staffing during the COVID-19 pandemic in a London Hospital. Including calculations of occupied bed to physiotherapy staff ratios and staff productivity.
Methods: Physiotherapy intervention data was collected between 2nd November 2020 - 28th February 2021, coinciding with the second COVID-19 pandemic surge. Staffing numbers were collected throughout this period, allowing calculation of staff to occupied bed ratios and staff productivity.
Results: Staff productivity ranged from 44% to 130% and physiotherapist to occupied bed ratio ranged from 1:9 to 1:11.
Conclusions: Staffing ratios are common practice for nursing but are novel for allied health professionals. It is unclear whether changes in staffing have an impact on time to activity milestones in our COVID-19 population. The practice of redeploying staff to improve staffing ratios is complex and training time needs to be considered for this to have a positive impact on staff productivity.
