Physio backs charity that helped her after accident

Chloe Boobier, a 30-year-old physiotherapist employed at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, suffered severe injuries after being struck by a taxi in February 2021. The accident resulted in a broken spine, pelvis, and shoulder, necessitating weeks of treatment on the trauma ward where she once worked. After her recovery, Boobier began supporting others as a physiotherapist at Charing Cross Hospital, specifically aiding those with amputations. She credits Day One Trauma Support for their invaluable assistance during her recovery and recommends their services to her patients. The charity aims to raise £30,000 for its Christmas appeal, as it reported a rising demand for help, with requests increasing by 40%.

Boobier emphasized the importance of support systems for individuals leaving hospitals with life-changing injuries. Day One provided the compassion and guidance she needed during a challenging time. The charity's efforts ensure that those affected by trauma are not left to cope alone.
