“#Deprescribing is a part of the prescribing continuum. Most medications have a ‘don’t use past’ date when they may no longer be needed or have the same impact” New article discusses tools for assessing #polypharmacy and ways to start the DeRx conversation https://t.co/yL4bSTiEvw

@laxswamy Thanks for this great #prescribingcascade #deprescribing story - emphasizes the need to be aware of all medications while making decisions and, for all symptoms - ask “can this be caused by a drug”?

Great idea from Sam Goodhand (Anaesthetic SpR in Wessex):

Credit card sized and designed to fix to the ICU on-call bleep.

“Polypharmacy is common in prefrail and frail persons, and these individuals are also more likely to be on extreme drug regimens than robust older persons” New study examines the association between #polypharmacy and frailty https://t.co/LTuW4DkUA1

Working in a hospital every day, its so easy to forget just how intimidating, and scary it can be for patients and their relatives

Giving directions to someone who seems lost, holding the door, a simple smile..

Little things that can mean so much to worried patients

[Prof Dame Jane Lovely DBE CBE RN @JaneMCummings]

Yet again nurses are ranked as the most trusted profession & this time at 96% - a further rise. Despite the pressures & challenges, you all do a fabulous job & this is a testament to your skills, expertise & compassion. Thank you all ⁦ https://t.co/Ok53zMqG8I

Amazing feat last night by two Samoan icu colleagues ( doctor and nurse) who handbagged a baby for 6 hours from Samoa to NZ for lifesaving surgery. Impressive dedication. And humility with it. Fa’afetai! And thanks to @FlyAirNZ for their support.

Only 10 responses from Scotland... Surely there are more prehab progs than this? If you are delivering prehab in any setting for any condition please do respond.

Do we really need to call out kindness as a fundamental value for those working in health and care services? Yes unfortunately, as this seems to be the first thing to be forgotten in our current pressurised systems ⁦@PersonCntrdSco⁩ ⁦@Clairog⁩ https://t.co/zB7Zq6XOvj
