Thank you to Uni of Roehampton for inviting me to lecture on the Rehabilitation and Management of Older Adults for the 2nd year MSc Physio students! A whole day to talk about #frailty#ageing#olderadults#deconditioning and @EDDMprogramme! ππ»π
Throwback to a special day, swapping out the hospital wards for Buckingham Palace at the Garden Party to celebrate the work achieved by @EDDMprogramme & our efforts to promote reconditioning for all patients. Weβve come a long way and weβll keep working hard to go further πͺπΌπ
Gillβs story - an example of the impact the @EDDMprogramme can have on maintaining confidence, mobility and function during an acute admission as well as the positive impact on patient experience. Watch Gillβs #EDDM story here: youtu.be/Eg3lgLiyMAo?si=AF16β¦
Mobility outcomes do not improve from tools alone. They improve when mobility is operationalized as a coordinated #hospital system.
Increasing d/c home π and reducing #Falls#Delirium#VTE#PressureInjuries starts upstream with mobility.

πReally pleased to be able to share a piece of work I have contributed to, alongside the brilliant Dr. Amit Arora & Dr Siobhan Lewis, for @GeriSoc, which is now live!
Our Deconditioning hub has a bunch of info and resources which you can access here: bgs.org.uk/deconditioning
What a great day delivering our @EDDMprogramme study day to such an engaged group! Thanks to those who attended, true #EDDM champions! Great discussions, learning, sharing experiences and a positive mindset to shift the bedrest culture! ππ» π
Excited to be delivering an @EDDMprogramme Workshop at this yearβs @thecsp conference! Looking forward to working with delegates to consider barriers to activity & mobility and how we can all work as an MDT to overcome these, prevent deconditioning and improve patient outcomes ππΌ

More people are surviving strokes than ever before in the UK.
But their hopes of getting better are being dashed because of a lack of physiotherapists.
We highlight critical workforce shortages with @ACPIN_UK and @TheStrokeAssoc.

Inspiring our volunteers to promote #EDDM activities with patients whilst in hospital! Providing motivation, empowerment and companionship is so important to help patients stay active & prevent physical, psychological and functional decline π
I have no doubt these guys at Royal Surrey NHSFT will do an amazing job in their journey to prevent deconditioning and promote reconditioning! π Thank you for letting me share the @EDDMprogramme with you!
The @EDDMprogramme tracks daily eat, drink, dress (personal care, grooming, etc) and move activities for patients in hospital to prevent deconditioning and promote reconditioning!
Christine was so delighted to be provided with her #EDDM static pedals, exercise booklet and pen this morning! Getting her as active as possible on AAU to ensure we work together to prevent deconditioning π
