Happy #WDAD2022 all. We've created a virtual reality delirium film to help put staff in the patients shoes. We will be asking as many staff as possible to watch it today. Check it out. Massive thanks to our amazing Comms team @CombinedNHS https://t.co/97ov63SBGj

Lack of home carers is the very obvious elephant in the room....
- people end up in residential care when they could be at home
- people end up in hospital, too through lack of care

Carers deserve better wages, but more importantly, high respect.

Falls from height <2m are the most common mechanism of injury in major trauma.

Older people more likely to be “under triaged” and are seen by more junior clinicians.

Food for thought #AAAConf @DrGeorgePeck

Consultant Geriatrician when being told that the patient with hypoactive delirium is a "social admission"

@SamCraik89 @sathNHS Welcome to team Elderly Care Sam 😊

Great to hear a more pragmatic approach to the use of rigid collars in C-spine fractures in the first POPS talk, having seen many of these complications in the last few weeks alone #BGSconf

[Bethan 🦥💜 @bethicillin]

Issues with rigid collars: pressure ulcers, swallowing issues, potential respiratory complications, increased ICP(!), delirium and reduced mobility #BGSConf
