End PJ paralysis

University Hospital Galway was delighted to welcome Michael Lyster to officially launch the ‘End PJ Paralysis’ initiative at the hospital today.

The initiative is part of an international campaign which encourages patients to stay mobile and get back into their daily routine, maintain independence and return home as soon as possible.

Bernard Jackman, former Irish rugby union player who played for Connacht, Leinster and Ireland showed his support for Portiuncula’s ‘End PJ paralysis’ campaign at the hospital today.

For the next 8 weeks, staff at the hospital are focusing on getting patients who are well enough, to get out of bed, get dressed and get moving.
