University Hospital of North Midlands Trust: Older Adults Diversional Therapist Pilot

The Diversional Therapist role has been pivotal in providing an environment for patients where activities are at hand to promote their independence, enhance their mobility and encourage and assist their recovery. Activities are tailored to patient requirements and play an active role in “reconditioning our patients”, which also works in line with the trust’s Safer Mobility Ambition. This role advocates the “sit up, get dressed, keep moving” campaign with the overall aim to improve patient experience, maintain patient ability, promote independence, and support a reduction in inpatient falls within older adults.
