Marathon memories for physiotherapist Abisola
History was made in this year’s London Marathon when two runners finished the course in under two hours.
There to witness this day in history was specialist physiotherapist, Abisola Ajiboye from our Bexley Rapid Response Team, working as part of the event’s medical team.
Abisola said:
It was such an incredible experience, and I met some fantastic professionals. It was lovely to be able to share what we do within the service and to work together with doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, students and ambulance crew.
Cherie Trew, Matron and Team Lead for Bexley Rapid Response, added:
We are all incredibly proud – not only did you provide essential physiotherapy to the marathon runners, you helped with encouragement and reassurance at the 21-mile mark, all delivered with a smile. Well done.
