The #EDDM Programme aims to empower people to remain as active & independent as possible in eating, drinking, self-care and mobility/exercise activities .. especially older adults! 💪🏼 Really pleased to see this year’s #WorldPTday theme focusing on how to live well for longer!

I’m having such a great time working with Julie, our #EDDM Technician! Julie’s only been in her new role for a few months but has already made a MASSIVE impact on the ward, supporting patients and staff to engage in #EDDM activities, leading by example and always with a smile!💙

In what is the sixth biggest economy in the world, in the end, this is a political decision about investment of public resources... but cutting off supply like this makes little sense HT @agilecsp.bsky.social @physiokernow.bsky.social www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

One board was never going to be enough! We’ve expanded our #EDDM display over two boards with more exciting additions to come, including #EDDM-themed word searches, puzzles and our standing exercise station! Thank you to all the staff on Hamble ward for embracing #EDDM so far!
