This is why NICE HF guidance does NOT recommend fluid restriction. Jeepers it’s hard turning that ship around #DoNoHarm

1.8% of patients CFS 6-9 survived to discharge. https://t.co/XYgEtwrDzy

In this study by @lucypgeridoc , those patients who do survive to discharge often have QoL not compatible with their values. https://t.co/Ykersg78X9

Why bother doing a CFS and 4AT? How do these things improve care? Well, the won’t, on their own. But neither will a NEWS score or creatinine.

This weekend I saw a lady CFS 7 4AT 8. NEWS 1

She had gram -ve bacteraemia.

Come to https://t.co/Es3x1DVOfz to learn more. 25/26 june

Today’s @thetimes - powerful, measured & bringing much needed light to the heat & emotion of the AD debate. Thank you @VictoriaPeckham.

Happy news story of the week 🐧 https://t.co/New32ES7vf

[Sean Ninan @sean9n]

Don’t forget that dizziness on standing up may be BPPV which is very treatable. Nice catch from @PAealish last week with the FY1s combining for an Epley cure

You know how sometimes I write things?
I wrote this one at the weekend.
My parents (90 & 93 yrs) were my editing advisers.
Thanks to @JoeHawk75825077 for a thought-provoking @bmj_latest paper (link in article) & to @guardian for inviting an Opinion piece.

Great to hear @PAealish present our journey from waffly handovers to structured MDTs with standardised format, concise presentations, and input from all members of the MDT. I dreamt of knowing current mobility vs normal mobility for all patients and now I do!

[Ealish @PAealish]

@sean9n Thank you Dr Ninan! Couldn't have done it without your support and all the great work happening on the ward.

Really enjoyed @RCPhysicians Med+ conference over the past few days. The sessions on Geriatric Medicine and Palliative Medicine were particularly useful!

[Sean Ninan @sean9n]

What is the point of doing routine 4ATs in the ED?

Most of us will miss delirium and memory problems on brief reviews if we don't do some specific testing.

You might think you're good at just spotting delirium. But you're probably not. (Neither am I)

[Ealish @PAealish]

So happy to have passed my ALS course today! Another thing ticked off my list ✅
