In 2016, our journal, @Age_and_Ageing, published the Electronic Frailty Index. It was highly influential and is used across the NHS to identify frailty within a population.
This revolutionary has been updated, with the Electronic Frailty Index 2 (eFI2)!

We've published the final standards for Ageing and Frailty.

The standards aim to promote positive, healthy and active ageing. They cover older people who may experience frailty as they age and apply in all settings.

Follow the link in the comments to read the standards.

[Parkinson's Foundation @ParkinsonDotOrg]

The Parkinson's Foundation, in collaboration with the American College of Sports Medicine, created Parkinson’s disease exercise recommendations to provide people with PD safe and effective exercise programs and instruction.

The exercise guidelines include recommended frequency, intensity, time, type, volume and progression of exercises that are safe and effective for people with PD. Each recommendation is paired with specific types of activity and special safety considerations for people with PD.

Check out these recommendations today for #ActiveAgingWeek! Learn more: https://t.co/ovITki296t

Thought provoking from reverend professor John Swinton. Physical presence is not enough. How do you find presence in busyness? #bgsconf @gramacutephysio

We live in a culture where absence and disconnection
are becoming the norm. We check our phones every 12 minutes during waking hours. 7% of us say that we never turn our phones off #BGSconf

Exciting! Will be interested to see what this leads to …. #bgsconf
