Deconditioning causes harm

– it’s time to act.

 

join the movement here
The evidence is in – we know moving is good for you, yet every minute, every day people lie in hospital beds deconditioning – this can have life changing impact. The MOVEMENT movement creates a forum for nurses, therapists, doctors and health support staff to connect and talk about encouraging mobility and preventing harm. Individuals and organisations are invited to join free of charge – let’s #EndPJparalysis together.

“Patients’ time is the most important currency in health care – make every minute it count”

    Professor Brian Dolan OBE

About Us

#EndPJparalysis was originated by Professor Brian Dolan OBE. He believes that many of the people we care for are in their last 1000 days and they are the very people who do not have time to waste. Yet they are the people who are most likely to get stuck in our hospital systems due to their complex health and social needs. 

Following a 70 Day #EndPJparalysis Challenge to mark the 70th anniversary of the NHS in 2018 and a 72 hour Global Summit in 2019, #EndPJparalysis has become a global movement embraced by nurses, therapists and medical colleagues.

Its aim: to value patients’ time and help more people to live the richest, fullest lives possible by reducing immobility, muscle deconditioning, and dependency at the same time as protecting cognitive function, social interaction and dignity.
