"I feel that this fellowship has developed me personally as well as producing a #frailty resource that has helped colleagues across the specialty to develop their services and improve their own knowledge"

Immobilisation strategies can be catastrophic for muscle mass and function within days — leaving older people in bed, says Sahota, is not an option. If you are going to intervene, do it quickly #bgsconf #orthogeriatrics

[British Geriatrics Society @GeriSoc]

Our new #FrontDoorFrailty resource sets out five principles that should underpin services. Principle 1: prioritise the development of the service. Find out more about this and the other principles here: https://t.co/tsASTWQzjG

Did you know that the 4AT picks up most delirium (88% sens), indicates delirium when +ve (88% spec) takes <2 min + doesn’t require any specific training to pick up a disease that is preventable yet commonly missed?

Oh and it comes as an app now! New vid

An excellent @bmj_latest education piece on taking a collateral history.

Useful at all ages if something just isn’t quite right, but a crucial part of a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, familiar to my colleagues in @GeriSoc.

Absolutely!!!!!!

[JAGS @AGSJournal]

Orthostatic hypotension was most prevalent and symptomatic immediately within 1–2 min after standing, but more informative for fall risk after 4.5 min. Clinicians may consider both intervals when assessing for orthostatic hypotension. #geriatrics https://t.co/SGbFBGslgy
