Improving day one mobilisation following hip fracture

Purpose: Hip fracture is a serious, life changing injury, which typically occurs in people in their eighties with pre-existing medical conditions and subsequent complex post-operative rehabilitation needs. The Hip Sprint Audit in 2017, run by the CSP in conjunction with the NHFD (National Hip Fracture Database), provided for the first time a detailed national understanding of the wide variation in the physiotherapy management of patients following a hip fracture. Participation in this audit demonstrated the hospital was significantly below the national average for achieving day 1 mobilisation following surgery.
