The Older Person Emergency Network (OPEN) team provide an alternative care pathway (pre-hospital care pathway) for older, more vulnerable patients to be treated at home or aged care facility rather than coming into the ED.
They not only assess and treat the person but also assess the home and social environment, organising the supports they require. Thank you Sarah for sharing your personal experience with your own grandmother who fell at home and break her hip.
What an incredible team, doing incredible work! Thank you for coming down from Queensland for Hip Fest!

Discussion at Geriatric SIG Workshop. #ICEM2023 Should pts with minor CT abnormalities have anticoagulant/ anti-platelets stopped?
If not - why do a head scan in the first place?
@MarianneWallis2@usceduau @SChealthnews @MetSthHealth Thanks Marianne. You are an inspiration. Not in a million years would I have completed this without your infinite patience and wise counsel 🤣😂🤓
@MarianneWallis2@usceduau@CEDRiCProject Thank you so much. Has been a fantastic journey. Look forward to future brainstorming and grant writing wine filled nights
Looking forward to join this great GEMSEM day

Introducing you all to the Healthy Ageing Reseach Team from James Cook University and Cairns & Hinterland HHS. Very fortunate to work with this great group of Clinician Researchers! @TropAusAHC@AITropHealthMed@CairnsHHS
I learned today that my trusty "Queen Square" tendon hammer was actually invented by a Sister Wintle in 1925. There is little recognition of female contributions in medical history, and precious few female eponyms. I shall refer to it henceforth as the "Wintle Hammer" instead.
