This is a reflection of the importance of team membership and systemic influence. Large units may need more for timely clinical input

[Kate Ross @KateRoss2]

Being admitted to hospital is enormously disruptive for people's lives, they deserve intensive multidisciplinary help to turn things around and resume their lives as soon as possible. @CCQI_ recommendation supports this ambition. https://t.co/rZtH8j6Rnv

[Natasha Lord @natashadlord]

@CCQI_ @RCPsychOldAge and @BPSOfficial @FPOPInpatients recommend 0.5 qualified clinical psychologist per ward. Services also feedback that @CQCProf also look at psychological provision on wards. #MDT #psychologicallyinformedwards #wow2018 #QNOAMHS

@SDexterSmith Lots to be proud of. Fellow students on the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson course had already come across it which is very gratifying .. and used it as a reference!

[Kate Ross @KateRoss2]

The guidance is reaching an even bigger audience - joint event with RCP last week. https://t.co/6cPtyxZI7I

Just finalising our RCP/FPOP #wonderfulolderadultwards event. Follow us at #WOW2018 tomorrow!

Talking about how we support people who feel that life cannot be endured, I am impressed by staff determination to promote patient autonomy

Professor Stephen Hawking was leading legal action against Jeremy Hunt to prevent him ‘Americanising’ the NHS

The senior healthcare professionals he was working with will be continuing the fight

@billybragg I’m no fan of Borris or bombastic rhetoric but I’m not sure about Russia the victim either. It would be easy enough to kill someone without using a rare and difficult to access nerve agent. Someone somewhere is sending a challenge.

End of my first active week as CD and it’s both daunting and exhilarating. It feels like a privilege to be discussing our ambitions for care with such an experienced and dedicated team.

[Kate Ross @KateRoss2]

@Baddiel No no no. Political commentary- yes please. Satirical comedy- hell yes, it’s why we love you. Taking the piss out of how people look - way beneath you. 🙁

[Kate Ross @KateRoss2]

Delighted to be taking up the role of Clinical Director for older people in Shropshire today. It’s a beautiful part of the world and a fantastic team I’m joining. #compassionatecare

[Kate Ross @KateRoss2]

Sorry that conference on psychological best practice for older adult inpatients was cancelled today but pleased that our local service development event went ahead. They found the chapter on formulation extremely helpful. @SDexterSmith @FpopChair @natashadlord @ClinpsychLucy

[Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health & Care NHS @HWHCT_NHS]

I am the co-lead for the @FPOPInpatients Workstream. We recently published our guidance and are holding a series of launch events. I'm writing the presentation for our event at @CCQI_ on 1st March 2018. It is open to any older people inpatient wards/trusts.

Brilliant to see 'In My Life' complete! A way of facilitating discussion and capturing the positives in life after a diagnosis of dementia

@BootstrapCook Sweet potatoes, sliced and cooked in orange juice then brushed with melted butter and browned under the grill is very nice. 🙂

[Keep Our NHS Public @keepnhspublic]

BREAKING NEWS - we hear @Jeremy_Hunt is speaking at Kettering General Hospital at 12.30 tomorrow. He’s asked that the event not be publicised. So please don’t tell anyone who lives nearby.

The great British public has engaged in some curious voting decisions of late but at least we all had the vote. #100 years of women's emancipation
