I completed training with Athena last year and it was amazing, very informative & practical. Learnt some great skills to take forward & utilise in my role everyday.

#Frailty affects 1 in 10 over 65 y/o & up to half of 85+ y/o. These groups are most likely to benefit from #ProactiveCare. Many with frailty also live with other long-term conditions. Focus on providing holistic assessment in this guidance is very welcome. https://t.co/5rIyjEI3Ys

So lucky to work in this amazing role and alongside some fantastic AHP’s💙💚

By far the best moving and handling course! John is fab and super knowledgable! Lots of new skills learnt on single handed care, risk assessments and the law!
Can’t wait to put the new skills to use in practise with the dream team @Lagoodchild 👩🏼‍🤝‍👩🏽

[Lauren Goodchild @Lagoodchild]

The best moving and handling course I’ve attended. Really enjoyed the last three days, discussing single handed care, risk assessments and learning new skills. Thank you John 🙌🏻 #OccupationalTherapy #Physiotherapy #Frailty

@RuthC_OT we need some of these!

Exciting day in the Therapy department opening our new Therapy Assessment stairs (old stairs in the background) The adjustable height stairs will enable the team to assess patients replicating home stairs as best as possible.

#EoL care staff need to talk about restlessness prior to death, including it in preparation. Although it's not common, it's highly distressing if companions don't understand it.
Here's an edit of my recent public info post on Facebook, where I don't use medical language.

My first draft for a patient information leaflet on staying active whilst in hospital! Hoping to turn this idea into a reality and get this leaflet to all patients during hospital admission #movementmatters #reconditionthenation @ReconGamesUK @ECISTNetwork

[British Geriatrics Society @GeriSoc]

#Frailty alone costs healthcare systems in the UK £5.8 billion a year. With the right support and investment, frailty can be slowed and, in some cases, reversed, enabling older people to lead more healthy lives for longer and to maintain independence. https://t.co/xCtDydY627

[British Geriatrics Society @GeriSoc]

It is older people who are most likely to be harmed by waits for ambulances, time on trolleys in emergency departments and lengthy delays awaiting community services and social care for hospital discharge.
