Older people are everyone's business. It behoves all those working in healthcare (with exception of midwifery/children's to complete the National Frailty Education Programme to understand the fundamentals of frailty (that includes managers, porters, doctors, volunteers) 👇

Physical activity is #medicine ! 🏋️♀️🏃♂️ New review shows exercise improves health across diseases in older adults. Let's get moving! 🚶♀️🚴♂️ #ExerciseIsMedicine
Key points:
Exercise treats conditions like #dementia#frailty#sarcopenia where drugs often fail or cause harm. 💊❌
Must use evidence-based modes like resistance training at proper doses. 🏋️♀️🏋️♂️
Review Rx with exercise like other meds. 💊💪 Watch for interactions!
Integrate exercise pros into care teams. 👨⚕️👩⚕️🏃♀️

Australia needs innovative solutions and new public health promotion measures to cope with the increasing demand for hospital care caused by an ageing population and an increase in chronic diseases

More evidence that frailty is not synonymous with old age! In this study, 27% of 18-49 year-olds were frail and at risk of prolonged hospitalisation!

@BMC_series@AusFrailty
Are women less frail than men? After all, they do live longer lives. Or does women’s greater burden of disease and poorer functional status mean they are more frail than men? Looking forward to exploring this paradox next week with @David_D_Ward and @DrEHGordon
Frailty is not a contraindication to prescribe exercise therapy, but rather one of the most important reasons to prescribe it.
🛑A message worth spreading 🛑

We are calling out to any research students and early-career academics across Australia who have an interest in frailty. The Australian Frailty Network is establishing a peer forum for anyone interested, and potential participants are invited to help shape its establishment (1/2)
3 solutions to the emergency care crisis from BGS President @adamgordon1978:
1. Shift in attitudes - half of patients have frailty.
2. Front door frailty.
3. Investment in rehabilitation. Until we fix rehab, the revolving door will continue.
@RCollEM
Please tune in for this presentation by my wonderful colleagues @David_D_Ward & @DrEHGordon, led by our wonderful mentor @ProfREHubbard. A great presentation to be sure!
We are pleased to invite you, to the next Frailty Seminar Series. Professor Ruth E. Hubbard, David Ward, PhD and Emily Gordon, MBBS, PhD will present “Sex Differences in Frailty” on June 14th. PLEASE NOTE THE TIME CHANGE.

We are on the edge of a demographic cliff. For the first time in human history there are more people aged over 65 years than there are aged less than 5 years. Managing this requires a complete redesign of the healthcare system and we need to get ready!
