This is a fantastic resource and is recommended not just for healthcare professionals, but for patients and carers of adults with #frailty

It's free and written to be accessible to all

@kerryt7 @portsmouthqi Glad to hear it! He's sad he didn't make the picture though 🤣

@SarahHarkin2 @kategarraway @CharlotteHawkns @GMB Exactly - this surely can't be right for those who co-parent? Also don't appreciate the phrase 'not the end of the world' - would argue that children need to see their parents!

Our NHS staff have been overwhelmed by all the love and support in recent weeks. We wanted to pay it forward to all the other amazing people putting themselves at risk to keep us going, with a #ToiletRollChallenge to make you smile.

@GeriSoc @adamgordon1978 @NHSEngland @AgeingWellNHS @PHE_uk Great guidance - but do we have a national steer yet on how care homes can legally 'hold a stock' of anticipatory medication? Would be great to be able to get moving on this.

[Kerry Burrows @KerryBurrows23]

Very proud of our team!! So thrilled we can share this..

Ever wondered if applying #QualityImprovement methodology to designing & implementing a region wide #acutefrailty Audit could work? Here's how we did it @WessexAHSN @WessexAgeing @Treasa_corbett @KerryBurrows23 @CherylDavies22 @NikkiDQIC @GeriSoc #CPTlife

@LucyLew79 @CherylDavies22 It wasn't on my radar - I'll have to have a look and see if I can make it!

[Kerry Burrows @KerryBurrows23]

Great talk from Lotta Seppälä - we need to take more care and consider falls risks when starting new medication #BGSconf #BGSfalls18
