Giving the new Frailty suit a try. To give a better perspective of how it feels to be an older adult with deconditioning @barnshospital @BarnsleyAHPs it was very difficult to mobilise!

Thank you to our OT and Physio staff who delivered a session to our current OT and Physio students out on placement. Moving and handling was discussed as well as demonstrating mobility aids and transfer equipment

This week our Ortho OT Team enjoyed celebrating OT week. Thank you to our rotational Occupational Therapist, Lexi, for all of your hard work with presenting on the OT stand 💚 @theRCOT

@SaTHCorpNursing @sathNHS @SaTHImprovement Donate2Motivate - a moving wardrobe of day clothes so patients without day clothes can select an outfit to help get them up, dressed and back to their best on one of our frailty wards using Dress and Move principals @theEDDMpodcast

Occupational Therapy Week 🏡🛌🚽 Falls Prevention stand in the canteen this morning all about how OT can help prevent falls. Talking about hazards in the home & how to stay safe if you fall. Think: person, environment & occupation 🤩 @UCTTBHNFT

@barnshospital showing us how #EDDM can be done! Inclusive of teams who see patients at the very start of an admission/try to avoid admission, recognising the negative impact of deconditioning starts after just 24 hours of inactivity & immobility! Keep up the amazing work! 👏🏼

The recordings of the #FallsAwarenessWeek webinars with @BrianwDolan, Julie Windsor @NHSEngland and the team from @GlosFalls are now live here: bit.ly/3YhNZKT #ThinkFalls #BeFallsPrepared

So proud of how #EatDrinkDressMove is spreading & reaching so many different NHS Trusts in their work to prevent acute deconditioning. Posts like this keep me motivated to continue promoting #EDDM as the quality improvement approach to reduce immobility & bed rest in hospital!👏🏼

'Imagine never seeing your front door again'. I posted this on @LinkedInUK a few days ago following a visit to @barnshospital and it seems to have resonated strongly. I hope ye don't mind me sharing it here🙏💙 linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Last month the Team ran a workshop at the Trusts Proud to Care Conference. During the session a graphic was produced which demonstrated some of the tools and techniques used in QI #QualityImprovement
