Message to my lovely followers 🙏Thank you! If I ever helped or entertained you with #Dementia info here’s a special one time ask 🙏 Please, please like and retweet one of my posts re fly tipping 🚮 to help me with our campaign to fix the @Edinburgh fly tipping problem 👍 Thanks

I would, but I like to be prepared, however uncertain. I’m strongly with @ProfJuneAndrews, that we need better and much faster diagnosis of dementias as symptoms start to show. Current delays are unconscionable.

A new research trial prompts the question: Given there is currently no cure, if you could find out whether or not you are predisposed to Alzheimer’s, would you want to know? https://t.co/WEe5IIln5Z

Today is #StressAwarenessDay. Unpaid carers often face additional stress while balancing caring with other aspects of life.
We've created practical wellbeing toolkits for both adult unpaid carers and young carers to help support mental health & wellbeing: https://t.co/5tzEtIdPfQ

NICE says the diagnosis of delirium should be written in the person's notes and in their GP record. SIGN says the discharge letter should say the person had delirium, and that everyone who has had delirium should be reviewed by the primary care team.

A letter that names the delirium, its cause, whether it has cleared and what the family were told gives the GP something to act on.

New figures show 15 women were killed in the last year in Scotland. Experts warn society’s growing contempt for women is driving the terrifying surge in violence against women and girls. https://t.co/P5FnW6z5cF

“The White House must be an awful place to work. If you have a conscience, you’ve already got out. There’s a parallel with being in the Stasi. If you’re not prepared to do certain things, you won’t rise. The higher up you get, the harder it is to give up.” https://t.co/YSbaBIQlIx

Councillors & officers will hate me for saying this: these monthly full council meetings keep getting rushed w loads totally missed. They should spread them over multiple days. Instead, provost desperately races to wrap by 5pm. Democracy deserves better. Better over 2 or 3 days.

A few bits alright! A few here... a few there... a few everywhere!
