Week 1 at the frailty unit complete and I’ve already seen the value of the department. Taking vulnerable patients from A&E and moving them to a calmer environment makes such a huge impact on the patient journey. What a lovely team and unit 🫶🏼 @UHP_NHS

This young lady woke up in the ED on her 94th birthday. So we transferred her to AFU in the hope of getting home and brought her a Colin the Caterpillar birthday cake and hung some bunting around her chair. Happy Birthday !! @UHP_NHS @Acute_Medicine @sarahblayney @AnnJamesNHS

Brilliant day visiting @AcuteFrailtyUHP alongside Naomi the Frailty CNS.

Was great to see their frailty unit in operation

Have lots of ideas to bring back to implement in Cornwall and looking forward to developing our relationship with our neighbours in Plymouth.
