This award will help Rene to collect data and staff feedback on how to improve the percentage of patients mobilising out of bed by the first day after having hip fracture surgery to meet the national average of 80%.

Getting patients out of bed within 24 hours of surgery is important to improve patient outcomes, including reduced mortality, increased independence and reducing the length of acute hospital stay. He will write up the findings for a journal publication.
