In this episode of the #theEDDMpodcast, we return to a topic related to the ‘drink’ episode of EDDM which is Hypotension. I speak about the impact that both dehydration and general deconditioning can have on the circulatory and musculoskeletal systems, which can lead to hypotension, highlight the bidirectional relationship between the negative impacts of hypotension and deconditioning, and of course how EDDM can help to reduce all of this!

In this episode of the #theEDDMpodcast, I’m joined by the Harborne ward staff – Declan and Clare – from the QE hospital in Birmingham to speak about EDDM as a whole and how, as a multidisciplinary team, these guys have implemented improvement projects and ideas to embed EDDM into daily work on their ward. I'd like to make a huge shout out to Stacey, ward manager of Harborne ward, who couldn't join us to record this episode but has been instrumental in the delivery of these ideas and positive changes to the ward, and has so successfully empowered her team to engage in all of it!
