‘A new baseline’, ‘home with 4x carers stay seated’, ‘community physio in 6 weeks’, these statements made up a question from a geriatrician at RCP conference last week. Any thoughts please physios and OTs on what seems to be a worrying trend @thecsp@AGILECSP@theRCOT

All older people with #frailty should receive comprehensive multidisciplinary assessment as soon as possible after they arrive in hospital. This is often best achieved by dedicated services such as acute frailty units, or frailty assessment teams. https://t.co/sl9wHbxH1g
Better care of older people, and faster discharge from hospital, and community prevention of admission all need more OTs. ( and physios!)
Let’s push that up the agenda

.@RishiSunak suggesting that there are better ways to deal with falls than sending a paramedic crew - good idea and nothing new as this case study shows - Falls: a better way? | The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy https://t.co/K0wBwc1XNh
DGRI is currently experiencing high levels of admissions. It would be greatly appreciated if members of the public could consider all options for treatment before attending the Emergency Department, including the use of NHS24, your local GP and Pharmacy.
15% of older people being discharged from hospital are readmitted within 28 days. Investing in coordinated discharge, intermediate care and #rehabilitation services saves the NHS money and improves lives of patients and families. - Day 7 #BGSInvestInCare https://t.co/5sn5sdUDtL
