Throwback to a special day, swapping out the hospital wards for Buckingham Palace at the Garden Party to celebrate the work achieved by The EDDM Programme & our efforts to promote reconditioning for all patients. We’ve come a long way and we’ll keep working hard to go further 💪🏼💙

What an incredible invitation to receive! 🥹

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 💙

Another great session delivered to the F2 resident doctors this morning, good discussions around small changes we can all make to encourage EDDM activities and prevent acute deconditioning in hospital right from the ED through to the wards and back home! 💙

A nice opportunity to deliver our reconditioning and EDDM session to the F2 resident doctors training this morning 💙

I have no doubt these guys at Royal Surrey NHSFT will do an amazing job in their journey to prevent deconditioning and promote reconditioning! 💙 Thank you for letting me share the EDDM programme with you!

Another great session delivered on the SWL Nursing of Older Adults study day, talking all about #deconditioning and TheEDDMprogramme 💙

‘tis the season to #EDDM! Stay as active as possible over this Christmas period - in and out of hospital! 🎅🏻 🎄

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 💙
