A very hot (and cake filled) day of celebrations within the team today! Happy Birthday Tosin, and we will miss Callum & Kirsty as they move onto their next rotations

Sad for our TAP'S to be rotating out, what an amazing few months it's been 💙💚
But also welcome to our 2 new band 5's 💙💚

Super excited our cauda equina review is finally published: PR exam of anal tone is potentially harmful due its low sensitivity/high risk of false reassurance and is no longer recommended in ANY clinical setting.

My latest mission is to improve pelvic health within our elderly population on W12. Incontinence in the elderly is not normal, and we need to address it to improve QOL, falls, skin integrity etc. - not to mention the ££ spent on pads in the NHS @GeriSoc @AGILECSP @Age_and_Ageing

@GeriSoc @UKHaHSoc @RCPhysicians have released a joint statement in support of the term #HospitalatHome instead of #VirtualWard. The term ‘virtual wards’ does not reflect the level of care and skill required, nor does it provide clarity to patients. https://t.co/SqH6ORzd9q

Whatever folk think- same day emergency care (SDEC) for older people with moderate/severe frailty is NOT largely about same day discharge

It IS about rapid comprehensive assessment of unwell people with complex needs to orchestrate the best possible care following an emergency

Preventing mental deconditioning is just as important as physical, it only took me 30 minutes to hand these out and spend a few minutes chatting with all 38 patients.

Unsuprisingly ice cream flavours was the most popular today! @GamesEoE
