@HyperAHA Can also operationalise with clinical frailty scale

@lucypgeridoc @nickscr1 Agree. Guidelines are simply that, guidelines, not rules to blindly follow without clinical oversight. At times the evidence base or the scope of the guidelines will result in recommendations that are limited. Also guidelines tend to be disease specific rather than holistic

Check it out! Low vs high spironolactone... No difference in BP or renin or hyperkalemia...but more side effects from high spiro in men.

Our Emergency Department (A&E) is very busy and you may have to wait longer than usual to be seen.

If you need medical advice but it’s not an emergency, please use a different service to get the care you need.
