Yes, the pressures at the front door are immense, but so many of the ‘solutions’ are directed at either increasing physical capacity in A&E or speeding up discharges through the back door. What about in between? Attention MUST be given to therapy/rehab services #therapy #rehab

[Walking stick MOT @WalkingstickMOT]

Walking Stick MOT Week November 14-18
Encourage colleagues to think about those they know - patients, friends or family - who use a walking stick and encourage them to check the bottom of it, as a worn ferrule can cause a fall

Great response already to the mobility aids amnesty @UHSussex! Returns bins available in the foyer of the Barry building RSCH and Hove polyclinic - these items have a long life and can be cleaned and reissued reducing our carbon footprint and saving money @GreenerNHS

As a Geriatrician and a fellow human, what an example of positive ageing & and what a way to go; at home, with family, comfortably, quickly and enjoying life up until your final days.
What a woman.
