Hospital patients to be told to get up and dressed to avoid 'pyjama paralysis'

Hospital patients to be told to get up and dressed to avoid 'pyjama paralysis' Hospital patients across the country will be told to get up and dressed in the daytime in a bid to end “pyjama paralysis” which can cause premature frailty.

Britain’s chief nursing officer will today launch a national campaign to get patients moving after pilot schemes found that getting patients out of bed boosted their health and got them home earlier.

Earlier this year, Prof Jane Cummings asked wards to try a 70 day “challenge” to get patients up, dressed, and moving wherever possible. The Daily Telegraph
