While you are in hospital, our staff will regularly check your ability to sit, stand and walk.

We encourage your involvement to improve your mobility, ensuring you remain as independent as possible and help speed your recovery.

If you need assistance to move on or off your bed, staff will use various lifting devices to ensure you are moved comfortably and safely.

If you have any questions, speak to your nurse.
