This conference provides a practical approach to preventing hospital acquired deconditioning in older people, and moving beyond this to ensuring your patients are as active as possible and enabling reconditioning. It is widely recognised that hospital acquired deconditioning is a major issue in hospitals leading to functional decline, falls, readmissions, pressures on social care support and increase mortality. The conference will use case studies of best practice to support you to optimise safe activity for older people your service, and prevent both physical and cognitive deconditioning.
