Geriatric consultant in Edinburgh keen to improve outcomes for all older people, with special interest in syncope and dizziness. Views are my own.

@OlderTrialsProf @GeriSoc @AGILECSP @ELCHrehab - interested?!

[Jenny Harrison @DrJenHarrison]

@DrKTA1 All the best Kath! One of the biggest complements I have had recently was “you really remind me of my old consultant, Dr Anderson”! I try to keep modelling your compassionate and enquiring leadership style. All the best for the next adventure!

@marksandspencer Not really very helpful when you need to try them on though. Toddlers heads are weird sizes!

[Jenny Harrison @DrJenHarrison]

@marksandspencer Please explain why in mid September it is apparently “not the season” to buy a child’s woolly hat, and yet you are selling mince pies and Advent Calenders?!!!

@jmwoods87 @JRBneuropsiq It took 3 clinic appointments and finally a hospital admission to get one lady off her LT metoclopramide. I offered multiple alternatives which she didn’t even try. In the end the hospital stopped it outright and no nausea! Probably has PD though.

@JRBneuropsiq @jmwoods87 I think many of us are terrified to touch the psych meds, but often they can be safely reduced or stopped.

Very proud of our East Lothian trainees presenting their QI presentation at national level at the #BGSconf

[Jenny Harrison @DrJenHarrison]

@jmwoods87 See you there!

[Jenny Harrison @DrJenHarrison]

@CharSquires Congratulations Charlotte! Gorgeous! ❤️

[Jenny Harrison @DrJenHarrison]

@jmwoods87 Congratulations! Such lovely news!

[Jenny Harrison @DrJenHarrison]

Deleting twitter for a while. This perpetual Scottish lockdown is getting me down. See you on the other side (or when I miss reading about terrible OSCEs and watching cat videos)!

[Juliet MacArthur @JulietMacArthur]

Important opportunity for Lothian Health and Social Care Staff to participate in to the Covid-19 Vaccine Study @NHS_Lothian

[Jenny Harrison @DrJenHarrison]

@DrDavidWarriner Yes if I specifically want a consultant opinion or a specific consultants opinion then I would contact them directly, especially if I think my request will be “inconvenient”! It does depend on the consultant, the juniors/ANP and the situation though!

[Jenny Harrison @DrJenHarrison]

@jasonleitch @ScotGovFM Thank you for issuing the plan so we can prepare & plan for the coming months. Please can you explain the rationale for opening visiting to care homes before pre-school nurseries given high rates of infection in care homes & that most nurseries have small classes sizes?

[RefHelp 💙 @RefHelp_Lothian]

@AnnaandHobbes @dan26wales This! It’s about making a decision in the face of uncertainty. That’s the hard part and the bit that Trainees look up to you for. At least I did! The advantage you have if you can be open about your uncertainty is that your team will be with you and have your back too.
