@Jacquih0lmes @EDDMprogramme Well Done to you both, Jacqui and Julie. What amazing recognition of your hard work to reduce Hospital Acquired Deconditioning. You are in inspiring duo. Thank you so much for the difference you make to patient’s lives.

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. We’ve come a long way and we’ll keep working hard to go further 💪🏼💙

@AlisonSmith29 Are you watching the Gunners??? We’re a bag of nerves here…

Today's haul. Boring black work trousers. 2 tops, a fabulous orange scarf, Adidas and some sunglasses 😎 I definitely have my shopping mojo back 🤣🤣🤣

@AlisonSmith29 Love those boots…. Rockin’ it..

Dressing my shoe size (38) not my age (59). Cheeky cappuccino at the station before the adventures begin 🥰

@AlisonSmith29 Love following you Alison. I look at what you’ve been up to every night before bed…. Don’t read other people’s stuff cos I’m not a social media person - but the openness and honesty and funniness in what you write always brings a smile. Hope you are doing well?

@AlisonSmith29 Amazing !

My amazing weight watchers coach Natalie said some very kind things about me this evening. I have lost a whole person

📢 Physiotherapy is on Westminster's agenda on Thursday 23 April. Ask your MP to attend the debate on the AHP workforce. This is a key opportunity to raise the profile of physiotherapy. 📨 Invite your MP - more info csp.org.uk/blog/2026/04/p…

@Jacquih0lmes @EDDMprogramme Fantastic to see Hardy ward joining the inspiring EDDM campaign to ensure patients avoid hospital acquired deconditioning!

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 💙

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

Major breakthrough on safe staffing levels for AHPs ‘Your action helped make this happen, now your evidence can help ensure the final guidance truly reflects the needs of physiotherapy and wider AHP services.’ csp.org.uk/news/2025-12-1…

@_yourhealthcare Fantastic to hear! Proud to work alongside my wonderful colleagues from YH ! Very well done.

Congratulations to YH Proactive Anticipatory Care locality managers Giles and Rob who, along with colleagues from SW London, have received a Collaborative Working Award for Kingston’s PAC service: a blueprint for neighbourhood health care as described in the NHS 10 year plan.

@Jacquih0lmes @GeriSoc @EDDMprogramme @sean9n @MichelleBull4 Fantastic to see you up there Jacqui. You are an inspiration! Well Done. AHP Leadership at its best x

Mega imposter syndrome experienced today, but so grateful to @GeriSoc for the opportunity to share the stage with these guys, speaking about my QI journey with @EDDMprogramme at this years Autumn Meeting #BGSconf 💜

@Jacquih0lmes @GeriSoc Good Luck with your presentation Jacqui and go shine brightly !

Looking forward to the next few days at @GeriSoc Autumn Meeting #BGSconf 💜

@EDDMprogramme @Jacquih0lmes Thank you Penny! Really appreciate your feedback on the EDDM programme. Thank you for taking the time to stop and write to us.

AMAZING feedback from the first couple of weeks of the @EDDMprogramme roll out on our Acute Assessment Unit! I’m hopeful that Penny will accept my offer of being an EDDM Champion for the unit! 💙

@AlisonSmith29 I want them Alison!!!

The boots are getting their first outing today ❤️🤠

@EDDMprogramme @Jacquih0lmes Thank you Peter! And welcome to the EDDM family x

Our #EDDM Champions team is growing! Welcome to Peter, our fourth member of the team, from Cambridge ward - orthopaedics! Ready to take on the challenge of supporting the ward to increase their activity and mobility promotion and prevent deconditioning! 👏🏼 💙

@EDDMprogramme @Jacquih0lmes Great to see AAU joining the EDDM club!!

#EDDM and ‘bored’ board on AAU!

@EDDMprogramme @K_and_R_NHS @Jacquih0lmes Well Done Julie and thank you for all your hard work!

So proud of Julie, our #EDDM Technician, who has been nominated and shortlisted for a Capital Clinical Support Worker Award in recognition of her role in @EDDMprogramme at @K_and_R_NHS!👏🏼 💜Keeping everything crossed for the award ceremony next month when winners are announced!

@EDDMprogramme @Jacquih0lmes Well Done Hamble!!!

#EDDM cupcakes to celebrate the hard work of Hamble ward staff in introducing The EDDM Programme to promote reconditioning on their ward over the last few months 👏🏼 Great effort and positive results, well done!

@Jacquih0lmes That is more meaningful than most papers I have read about ‘de’ and ‘re’ conditioning !

Enable rather than do for. Get to know what matters to people, what’s meaningful and what you can help them to achieve. People fear the risk of losing their independence - if only we, as health care professionals, were as scared of that risk as we are of falls.
