Thank you @CUHCharity for funding the resources to create activity packs for patients with CI Dementia BPSD on 1A ward Great for staff to have access to non pharmacological resources for patient care #eatwalktalk @Corinanaughton1 @uccnursmid @ahernemer @CUH_Cork @AMGalvinCUH

Increased walking improved muscle protein synthesis rates in older women irrespective of whether dietary protein intake was increased beyond the recommended intake of 0.8 g/kg/d. Great study @tjstokes5 @mackinprof and excellent stats section!

Frailty is a significant risk factor for complications in both elective and emergency surgical patients.

Early identification of frailty via screening tools is integral in perioperative patient management.

Which tool do you use?

Delirium can be reduced in older adults by enhancing the ward culture around the fundamental principles of age-friendly care including nutrition, mobility and cognitive engagement. Fantastic intervention from @AlisonMudge and @EatWalkEngage gang 🙌 https://t.co/SK9welp3ce

[TILDA @tilda_tcd]

TILDA research shows that 10% of older people are at risk of malnutrition. This is often associated with poorer health, a lower quality of life & worse disease outcomes. Learn why eating protein-rich foods is important as we age. https://t.co/pli7hIk1T5

[Helen Barnard @Helen_Barnard]

Worrying @Ageing_Better research: growing inequality for older people; more & deeper poverty. Much higher poverty & lower wealth among minoritised ethnic communities. We can be proud of big falls in pensioner poverty in recent decades, now risk unravelling https://t.co/3B6B81LPC9

Vitamin D recommendations below, important to note for over 65s, supplements should be taken ALL year round.🌥️🎣🥚💊

[Dr Yvonne Finnegan Director FINNE Nutrition @YvonneNutrition]

Its difficult to find the recommendations around Vitamin D supplementation in Ireland in one place so I have summarised it here covering all the age groups. Important habit to build into your daily routine as we head into winter
