# Event Details - **Event Name**: Deconditioning Uncovered: Act Early, Recover Faster - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 29 Sep, 2026 at 10:00 am – Tue, 29 Sep, 2026 at 03:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Deconditioning is one of the most significant yet under recognised challenges affecting patient recovery across healthcare systems.About this EventDeconditioning is one of the most significant yet under‑recognised challenges affecting patient recovery across healthcare systems.Deconditioning Uncovered is an insightful in‑person and online educational event designed to explore how deconditioning develops, how it impacts patients and, critically, how healthcare professionals can respond earlier and more effectively.What is covered?Combining perspectives from a researcher, a senior clinician, and a patient with lived experience, the morning sessions will explore the reality of deconditioning across the patient journey.Our speakers will examine how deconditioning begins and can rapidly progress through hospital admission if not addressed early. Discussions will highlight its multi‑system impact, from reduced mobility and muscle loss to delirium, infection, falls and loss of independence.Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how healthcare professionals can better recognise deconditioning, respond proactively, and embed rehabilitation earlier into care pathways.In the afternoon, attendees will take part in practical, hands‑on sessions to further explore how deconditioning presents in real‑world settings. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies that can be applied immediately within their own clinical environments.Meet the speakers:· Meri Westlake –Physiotherapist and Research FellowMeri is a qualified Physiotherapist and her research on hospital‑acquired deconditioning has been published in the British Medical Journal.
