The aim of Rise and Shine was to develop an activity so everyone has an opportunity to take part in some physical activity (when they are ready clinically and personally), to prevent Hospital Acquired Deconditioning (HAD), in a fun, sociable way. It is primarily aimed at older hospital inpatients and care home residents.

The initial idea for Rise and Shine came from international artist and sculptor Bob Olley who also designed the unique characters on each of the cards.

With mobility issues affecting our elderly population nationwide, the solution was a card game that encourages players to move physically. By engaging in this fun and social activity, hospital inpatients and members of the care community can become more active. Not only does this enhance their mobility, but it also motivates patients to get out of bed, get dressed, and ultimately enhances their overall experience.

Developed in partnership with South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS FT and Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria.
