•Patient education
•For patients to be eligible for the survey, they need to be: (i) Adults (>18 years); (ii) able to speak, read and understand English; and (iii) medically stable. Here, medically stable” is defined as patients having a normal Glasgow Coma Scale score which indicates full consciousness and having stable vital signs. This will be determined by the nurse-in-charge who will provide a list of potential participants to a member of the research team. For the follow up phone interview, the inclusion criteria are the same with an additional criteria: participants must be from intervention wards.
•Clinician training
•For clinicians to be eligible, they need to provide informed consent and be: (i) Qualified registered nurses, enrolled nurses or allied health clinicians (Physiotherapist/Occupational therapist/Allied Health Assistants); and (ii) working in intervention wards.

•Patients will be excluded if they have cognitive impairment or if they did not stay overnight in hospital. The nurse-in-charge of each ward will identify cognitively intact patients using their clinical judgement and past medical history before providing a list of names to a member of the research team. This research team member will have a clinical background and will also use their clinical judgement to ensure they agree with the nurse-in-charge.
•Clinicians will be excluded if they work in non-inpatient settings or are not assigned to intervention wards.
