Get Up, Get Dressed, Get Moving - Postcard (Fraser Health) [English] Permalink Public

We are committed to help you remain as active and independent as possible while you are in the hospital. Staying active improves breathing, appetite, sleep, and mood. Staying active reduces the chances of weakness, fatigue, dizziness, confusion, falls, and bed sores. Sit up as much as possible, change into clothes during the day, and take time each day to do some gentle exercise. (We thank Cardiff and Vale University Health Board for kindly agreeing to let us use their posters.) (English) Colour

Get Moving to Get Better: Move to Improve [English] Permalink Public

We know that people who stay lying in bed while in the hospital are more likely to get infections (such as lung and bladder infections) and blood clots. Movement will keep you strong and get you home sooner. This pamphlet gives you reasons for why it is important to get moving and ways to move while in the hospital. In some of our hospitals, we call this our ‘Move to Improve’ or Mobility program. (English) Colour
