I had to take my daughter to the Urgent Care centre at the @RUHBath today (she’s fine now). Staff there were amazing - thorough, calm, knowledgeable and helpful. Despite long queues and a very busy A&E. Thank you @RUHStaff for all you’re doing

[Robin Fackrell @FackrellRobin]

Seizures in palliative care: A thread

Occur in around 10% of palliative care patients.

Either due to pre-existing conditions e.g. Epilepsy, stroke or newly evolving conditions.

[Emily Henderson @DrEmHenderson]

Please, please let there have been a geriatrician on that team. A pragmatic, kind hearted and warm, most excellent physician.

[Emily Henderson @DrEmHenderson]

Thanks too to @DunhillMedical who make evaluation of this new approach possible.

Celebrating the Big 100 in @chiefpd2 @RUHBath! Love this!

[Susil Pallikadavath @SusilPallikada1]

Worked with a geriatrician this week on AMU. Just in awe. The knowledge, the patient care, teaching… an amazing experience just doing a ward round. Views shared by everyone who’s ever met them. Made me want to stay back after nights! What I want to be like one day and more.

https://t.co/PlK1Eh2m46. We are jumping from a plane! To raise money for our patients with Dementia and Parkinsons. If you can spare a few pounds, it would make such a difference. @ParkinsonsUK @DementiaUK @ForeverFriendsA @RUHStaff @DrEmHenderson @FackrellRobin @RUHBath

[Emily Henderson @DrEmHenderson]

Numbers are steadily increasing in @chiefpd2 remaining on a great trajectory thanks to all our super site teams. So grateful for every person with Parkinson’s, clinician, research nurse and support team who make this important trial possible.

A great quote from one of the BEST geriatricians of our time @lucypgeridoc.

Gait speed is intrinsically linked to cognition and mortality.

@chiefpd2 will determine whether ⬆️ cognition ⬇️ falls.

@CharSquires wonderful book club promises to be stellar.

[Robin Fackrell @FackrellRobin]

Fantastic!

[Emily Henderson @DrEmHenderson]

@chiefpd2 @FackrellRobin your wish was our command....

[Robin Fackrell @FackrellRobin]

@DrEmHenderson I’m so pleased to see this fantastic trial emerging from the challenges of COVID and actively recruiting. Such a refreshing trial design involving all ages and therefore so clinically relevant. I shall certainly be redoubling my recruitment efforts!!

[Emily Henderson @DrEmHenderson]

Older people with multiple conditions are never tedious. Mastery of the complexities of the medicine is an art. Research in the field meets an urgent and unmet need. It is a vocation and a privilege. #geriatrics
