Does frailty need a new name? https://t.co/q1ehsP8Wsq

Will the word frailty soon seem as dated as terms such as senile decay?

If we are to support more people to die at home in their preferred place then there needs to be a shift in resources from the acute hospitals to community team. Read this excellent report for more detail. @SNEEICB_NEE @SNEE_ICS

Older people’s goals of care in relation to frailty status—the COOP-study https://t.co/BGLycUhDFt
Whatever the stage of frailty people prioritised independence and quality of life over longeivity. How often as clinicians are we asking the patient what their priorities are ?

@RE_McGEE Great news!

I’m probably where I am today, a consultant in palliative medicine, because I met Kath as a 4th yr medical student.

Thankyou @drkathrynmannix .

It’s an engaging, evolving, and forever relevant specialty.

The first rule of being a change agent in an organisation is: "you can't be a change agent on your own". However creative, determined or passionate we are, the system will wear us down without social support. History shows that the people who make change happen are often small groups, loosely connected, united by shared purpose. It's why setting up a peer group of likeminded people can amplify our power for change. Here's some great practical advice on how to set up a peer group:
1) Find the right members
2) Set guidelines on how you'll connect
3) Agree on values
4) Check in to keep up the momentum

Is this how our Population health management data for end of life will look in 400 years?

Causes of death in London, 1632.

Anything stand out?

[Karen Chumbley @kchums]

Every clinician having advance care planning conversations should read this report. In @SNEE_ICS we have moved to ReSPECT and we continue to advocate and educate for better communication in the last phase of life.

[Compassion in Dying @AGoodDeath]

Today our new report shows the work to improve #DNACPR decisions and conversations remains urgent and unfinished since the @CQCProf review in 2021.

Together with @PHSOmbudsman and @BIHRhumanrights we're calling for urgent action.

9 months on this collaboration has created more ReSPECT conversations, and advance care plans shared on our local EPaCCS. A great example of cross organisational team work for people living with frailty in our community
