You don’t know what surfaces has been contaminated with the invisible enemy (SARS-COV-2), therefore washing your hands as often as you have touched surfaces (you are unsure about), the more you are helping to prevent the spread 🤗

Dr Medhat Atalla, a much-loved and respected doctor at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, has sadly passed away at the hospital, following treatment for Covid-19. As a team we are truly saddened and we will miss him every single day. https://t.co/StXUvuPxb4

We have discharged a few clinically appropriate cases of #COVID19 to their own home, advised to self isolate a further 14 days, monitor their symptoms & take necessary precautions - no visitors, social distancing within household. Guidance so far @ECDC_EU https://t.co/ZrWh1TfOCF

[Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals @DBH_NHSFT]

Flatten the curve - help us stop the spread of #coronavirus by staying at home when possible, reduce contact with others outside of your household and wash your hands regularly. Indoors dancing is fine - just do it a few metres apart preferably with Personal Protection Equipment

Older person with vague symptoms in the emergency department: Where should I begin? https://t.co/j5TxKPJXBP Really useful article @JamesPrattACP @pics_primary @darren_aw

[Martin Vernon @runnermandoc]

Labelling an older patient with ‘acopia’ says more about the coping skills of the clinician than the patient 😏

First diagnose time critical conditions presenting atypically

Next, consider things that are almost exclusively a problem in older people

Is it really flu? With the flu season in full swing, don't forget there are "other conditions available" to catch you out! This was compiled from the #MedTwitter hive mind in Jan 2018 - has anyone seen this year's strain mimicking anything else? PDF at https://t.co/BjS4qHZ8Fc

[Martin Vernon @runnermandoc]

People with frailty discharged from hospital experience ⬆️mortality &resource use-even after short ‘ambulatory’ admissions. This group is at ⬆️risk of poor outcomes. Systems should consider their post hospital discharge responses for those with Frailty https://t.co/FHwlOXPdBT

Best feeling ever hearing the following from a patient's daughter today "thank you for giving me my dad back. He's a different person now he's off all these meds" #wepharmacists #deprescribing ❤️

[Karen Wright 🤍🌿 @karenwrighty1]

At 80 we are 50% less strong than when we were 30 unless we do something about it. Regular strength training makes movement easier at any age and is an investment for our later years. #strengthsaveslives #trainhardfighteasy #healthyageing 💪💪

If you are on long term oxygen therapy #LTOT #O2, please do not start smoking 🚬 again or allow anyone to smoke in your house. You don’t want to set yourself & the house on🔥! #staysafe #smokingkills

[Alasdair MacLullich @A_MacLullich]

Many hospitals now use daily or more screening for new #delirium in inpatients.

Some reports of a modified Single Question in Delirium (SQiD) being used, & if +ve, followed by tool eg. 4AT.

Does anyone have experience of this?
