#wyegetdressed is all about out patients getting better as quickly as possible. Did you know bed rest is NOT prescribed for 60% of patients yet they remain in bed when in hospital? #getup #getdressed #getmoving #EndPJParalysis

#wyegetdressed #EndPJParalysis did you know...A 50% increase in walking while in hospital was associated with a 6% shorter length of stay in one study (McCullough et al 2006, Phys Measure) how can we get our patients mobile here Wye Valley NHS Trust ? Fiona McHale

Did you see Helen Byard Fiona McHale & @natasha_QI_ out and about in their PJs this morning? Was it strange to see staff in their PJs at work? We wouldn't work in our PJs so lets help out patients to get out of their PJs #getup #getdressed #getmoving #wyegetdressed #endPJParalysis

She is at it again the Lady in the Pink PJs Fiona McHale out and about Wye Valley NHS Trust with #amazingWVTstaff getting those pledges for the #EndPJParalysis70 campaign including Medical Director Dr David Mowbray pledging his support!
