Given how heavily Frailty has been pushed by NHSE, a critically important study.

Best practice Frailty services NOT demonstrated to improve outcomes at national level.

@FedExHelp passport was meant to have been delivered by TNT last week- despite a photo they have posted of our door there is no passport. Obviously concerning. Appalling customer service thus far. Unwilling to listen let alone help. Son now without a passport and holiday at risk

Echo all Scarlett says - it’s why we need radical rethink of Periop pathway esp for older people. @CPOC_News & why we need #POPS to deliver quality care & SDM, reduce cancellations & complications, improve recovery& flow (esp needed at the moment) @NHSiNet @svig2 @GeriSoc

@Welshy888 @SuzanneOwensACP @ACPkirsty Absolutely!

Both @RCPhysicians and the BGS have recently highlighted the significant shortfall for training of #geriatricians who are seen as the bedrock of older people’s healthcare #AdvPracWeek2022 https://t.co/ZtfVEVPo1N

@GeriSoc @RCPhysicians Thanks @kilgore_cliff - currently writing an essay about how ACPs can benefit the care of older people - this was a helpful article to read!! Keep inspiring us trainee ACPs!

@kerryBiss @GeriSoc @kilgore_cliff @Renee99742080 @UHD_NHS Thanks! Think you may need to follow me before I can DM you?

I am a trainee ACP in elderly medicine working in an SDEC / acute admissions environment.
Interested in what other Elderly Medicine ACP roles consist of across the country and how you see ACPs leading / changing / bettering services. @GeriSoc @kilgore_cliff @Renee99742080

[Jon Harris @jon_harris1]

Thanks to everyone for your replies! A bit overwhelmed having just logged back into twitter!! I will reply to as many as possible tomorrow - great to be able to share best practice / see how you all work!

[Jon Harris @jon_harris1]

@JcuhOpm @GeriSoc @kilgore_cliff @Renee99742080 Sounds great! Don’t seem to be able to DM you...perhaps you need to follow me first??

[Jon Harris @jon_harris1]

Also, would be interested in any research regarding the benefit of ACPs specifically in elderly medicine - finding this fairly tricky to source!

[Jon Harris @jon_harris1]

@kouya @BritishGas I’ve just cancelled the direct debit and pay monthly on receipt of bill now. Would recommend it!

[Jon Harris @jon_harris1]

@EmmaWaters92 Not sure I’m going to give the thread my time - you know you do a good job, don’t let others tell you otherwise!

It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.
