@NHSNurse15 Would rather people just followed the rules and stay at home .

[Sandie Smith @MissSWSmith]

@NHSNurse15 It’s too cold for people to be out clapping. And it really serves no purpose. I’d much Rather everyone just stayed in.

@GeriMedMD 1. Seek the views of the MDT. 2. Explain information to family 3. De-prescribing 4. Do not forget the 3 Ds depression delirium and dementia. 5. Always uphold the 4th D - Dignity

NB #delirium, reduced mobility, & falls can be presenting features of #COVID19.

Very important esp at the front door as often fever, dyspnoea, cough missing.

[Alasdair MacLullich @A_MacLullich]

#Delirium & #frailty predict worse functional outcomes in #COVID19 patients at 4 weeks.

Important, because delirium affects likely >25% of older pts with COVID19.

Please show your support for people with dementia and their families during DAW 2020 by printing and decorating a forget me not flower and displaying it in your window 💕https://t.co/gv8TCsQxYF @Rachelmacleod15 @macraevic @DreapoAndrea @DavidThomsonNHS

Does your country have standards for #hipfracture care?

England & Ireland have Best Practice Tariffs (BPTs): meeting these means the hospital gets paid more.

Scotland’s Test, Trace, Isolate system - Test & Protect - goes live today. If you have symptoms of coronavirus - cough, fever, loss/change of taste/smell - book a test here https://t.co/a0m4eZ066s.
Or call @NHS24 on 0800 028 2816.

Horrifying: patients given haloperidol for #delirium (mostly useless / harmful anyway) often have it prescribed as a discharge drug.

Have you seen this in your practice?

You never know what people are going through. Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not happening. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

For tomorrow's International Nurses Day 2020, we're asking everyone to ‘shine a light’ in their windows at 8.30pm to recognise the efforts of nurses & students nurses during #COVID19 & mark the bicentenary of Florence Nightingale’s birth 💛❤️

If you were out & about early this morning, you might have seen Janie & Keith Stewart litter-picking the Rigg Rd. 30 sacks and they’re still not done. We all need to look after our countryside ... we enjoy it more than ever just now. Take your litter home @EastAyrshire
