The #EDDM Programme inspires our future workforce and embeds activity promotion approaches early in their career to prevent acute deconditioning and associated negative outcomes proactively!

Blue #EDDM pens weren’t enough - we now have Green and Orange to add to the collection!

This is exactly what @EDDMprogramme aims to do! Track EDDM abilities the same way we track HR, BP, RR etc.. (chatGPT kindly helped me create a new improved vitals machine screen!) We have embedded a simple daily “current ability” assessment into patient EPR to track function!

Gill’s 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 Gill’s #EDDM story here: youtu.be/Eg3lgLiyMAo?si=AF16…

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

So grateful to @KHFTCharity & Lifetime Chances for supporting the work we’re doing to prevent Deconditioning through @EDDMprogramme!

Lots of activities going on in AAU’s new #EDDM Activities room last week!

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! 💙

#EDDM and ‘bored’ board on AAU!

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! 👏🏼 💙
