Ageing well at home, among a local community, is a goal for many older adults. Positive ways to provide support are by empowering these adults to maintain confidence & function!

Physiotherapists working in advanced practice consistently reduce waiting lists, costs for services, simplify the care pathways for patients & advance the profession. @_ISCP_ is calling on HSE & DoH to support physios by creating the grade of Advanced Practice Physiotherapist

[Alice O'Dwyer @AliceODwyer4]

Really enjoying the online webinar on Sarcopenia with @_ISCP_ @CPNG_ISCP Another example of an area where we can strive to improve assessment/diagnosis & #PRT. It seems all the more important during 2020 given the result in ⬇️ PA levels during lockdowns #sarcopenia 💪🏼

[MFIT @MullingarFIT]

Thank you @CPNG_ISCP for a fantastic presentation on sarcopenia. Lots of practical tips and ideas on how to assess for and manage sarcopenia. Looking forward to getting started on our joint physio and dietetic sarcopenia project @nbourke68 @SharonKennelly @RosannaKeaneRD

Does providing physical therapy (PT) services in the emergency department improves outcomes for older adults who fall? Yup. https://t.co/jg31QKlV7i

[liz sargeant @lizsargeant]

Fundamentally not safe to stay in either, after treatment if medically required #homefirst asap, let’s stop being risk averse on behalf of others, embrace risk to enable their choice! @AcuteFrailty @ECISTNetwork @fionak132 @paulmaloney83 @OReilly2002 @07702034Ciara https://t.co/WnLTEwvs53

[CPNG @CPNG_ISCP]

Ruth McCullagh @Mercycork measured walking levels of older inpatients.

In the group (including independently mobile pts) with median LOS of 7days, the average steps was 600/day = 12 minutes/day 🧐🤭 🤨
