@lesleyahpd @alzscot @NDCAN_Scotland Thank you Lesley for taking the time to reading my blog and for your kind comments 💜 The blog took me a while to write & even longer to post with many edits in between. I wanted to be respectful to my parents, to the ‘system’ we found ourself relying on & to just be me. ♥️ ♥️

If you asked a group of geriatricians what exactly is delivered in comprehensive geriatric assessment, you would get a range of answers says @DrPhilipBraude. #BGSconf

6 months ago, my Nan fell over and sustained lateral clavicle and pubic rami fractures. She was D/C home with QDS care, downstairs living and mobile with a WZF.

Today, she’s back dancing 3 x a week and running after her grandson on the beach.

Functional Independence in later life is an Area under The Curve issue.

It's a 'Movement Pension'.

The early you start, the better.

Sure, you can make deposits later in life but the return on investment isn't nearly as much.

📢New guidance published today!

BGS has joined with @NHSGIRFT to publish 'Six steps to better care for older people in acute hospitals,' aimed at supporting hospital teams to improve care for older people living with frailty. 1/7 🧵👇

Throwback to doing junior leagues for my club where I'd be doing the steeplechase, 800m, javelin and relay in the one day... 🤣

EVERYONE in the UK has done this for their club at some point. 🙌

Good on her! 2 points! 👏🇧🇪

[Dr Paddy Barrett @Paddy_Barrett]

How long you can stand on 1 leg can tell you a lot about how long might live.

Don't believe me.

Here's why.

The longer someone stays in hospital
The higher the risk of hospital acquired harm
Getting patients home is not just about "freeing beds" it's about giving them support in the right place and keeping them well. Keeping them in hospital longer than necessary adds to risks of harm

🔵 In #healthcare we often rely on logic to make our arguments.

🔴 Whereas emotion is what dictates action.

To avoid deconditioning we need to #MakeMovementMeaningful❗
