Simulation training is one way to increase clinicians confidence when working in hospitalathome. @UKHaHSoc @GSTTnhs @GSTTGeriatrics

[GSTT Ageing & Health @GSTTGeriatrics]

Our residents experiences-as hospital at home grows, it should not be forgotten as an ideal place to train in internal medicine, especially as drs need to develop skills in generalism, shared decision making, positive risk taking and recognising dying.

Cardiogeriatrics has great face validity but for pre-TAVI no strong evidence base with a lack of good trials in this area. Enjoy our systematic review out now. @KatherineChin18 @GSTTGeriatrics @BrHeartValveSoc @GeriSoc @escardio

Do you know which drugs to stop first in orthostatic hypotension? You might be surprised! The best drug is losartan, says @laramitchdr — and give it at night #BGSconf
