Conditioning patients to be careful- can this lead to a fear of movement? @caldwell_pt is discussing how this can increase deconditioning in patients #improvefalls #nationalfallspractitionerconference

A strong signal, goes with the observation that, in medical inpatients, people whose mobility and balance deteriorated in the first 48h had a 74% chance=17x relative risk of dying within 30 days (RE Hubbard @EelesEamonn et al @JournalGIM 2011 PMID 21845488 ). Great basis for RCT.

Communication failures are a common finding from serious incident investigations. New @NHSImprovement report published today examines the issues surrounding both good and poor spoken communication of safety critical information https://t.co/aqXDPS617C #patientsafety

If your patient could wash and dress themselves two weeks ago and can’t now, they don’t need a care package, they need CGA, which may include temporary care with an aim to rehab to previous state simultaneously

[NHS Improvement @NHSImprovement]

Our patient safety reporting and learning system is changing and we’re looking for a variety of healthcare providers to volunteer and take part in our pilot. Register by 20 September and you could be among the first users to test and develop our new system.https://t.co/YqQKz646LB

So proud of this work which is a success because of the passion of the Facilitators who are evangelistic about promoting better outcomes for older people. Once you understand Frailty you have to do something about it

It's not a lot - especially for a person near the end of their #last1000days.
I support @JohnCampaign as it's about compassion and valuing patient and carer time.
