In this first episode of the #theEDDMpodcast, I speak about hospital acquired deconditioning and what EDDM is, how I've re-branded and re-launched EDDM, and the importance of making it everybody's business. With each episode we will also have time for shout outs, pledges and examples of best practice so make sure you post yours on social media with #EDDM and #theEDDMpodcast! And we always finish off by mobilising our minds in the EDDM brainteasers - an opportunity for you to win a sought after EDDM badge!

Key facts:

Hospital acquired deconditioning (HAD) - a loss of independence in activities of daily living (ADL) following acute hospitalisation.
Deconditioning syndrome - the condition of physical, psychological and functional decline that occurs as a result of complex physiological changes induced by prolonged bed rest and associated loss of muscle strength (4).
Acute medical and surgical patients in hospital spend >90% of their time sedentary, often completing less than 1000 steps a day (2).  
10 days of bed rest can lead to 10 years of muscle ageing in adults over 80 years old (3).
