Evidence to support the critical role of the ANP for older people as articulated by the interdisciplinary team - @TUS_ie research report ( phase 1) @HSEDubMidlands@NMPDMidlands
Staggering data on dehydration in our older community. Financially has huge implications but the impact on the person is phenomenal. Basic care seems to be losing its place in health care. Can we get the basics right #myfutureolderself@NMPDMidlands

Older people are our future older selves. Nothing less. Treat them as you want to be treated because you are setting the standard for how you will be treated in the future
In medicine we have been taught to look for “the cause” of illness. But older people with frailty don’t follow the rules. They might not give a history. confusion+low temp is often there to trigger “sepsis”. Many blood tests are abnormal. The dipstick is +ve for everything!
