Fantastic example of the power of true MDT working at the Frailty QIHD today.

When nurses, ACPs, therapists, doctors and managers genuinely come together with one aim - improved patient services - everybody wins! 💪

Fantastic teamwork between @SWBHnhs radiology, diabetes & @SwbhFIT today meant some lovely people are spending their weekend at home & not in hospital. 👍👍

Even managed a @SwbhFIT MDT teaching session on HTN guidelines & renal physiology.
