Our latest research: death, length of stay, readmissions all linked to how we deliver hip fracture care. Many opportunities for QI work across the UK. Shows value of NHFD audit https://t.co/PJvsoL2AJP

Our research suggests, if all UK hospitals could mobilise >90% of patients by the day after hip fracture surgery, this could save 16,550 bed-days/year nationally https://t.co/PJvsoL2AJP @GeriSoc @RoyalOsteoPro @RCP_FFFAP @BristolUni #REDUCE Study

🗣3 key messages…

1️⃣ mortality is almost halved if seen by a geriatrician soon after injury.
2️⃣ the Clinical Frailty Scale is good for predicting mortality.
3️⃣ regular exercise, before injury, is protective of deterioration in hospital.

… and cases like #Eriksen are why *everyone* should learn CPR, because when it works it is little short of a miracle. But everyone should also learn about DNACPR, and recognise there will come a time for us all when CPR wouldn’t work and shouldn’t be tried. #havetheconversation

[Dr Linda Dykes has moved to Bluesky @DrLindaDykes]

What happened to #Eriksen is EXACTLY what CPR was invented for… a heart stopping suddenly in an otherwise healthy body. Whereas if someone’s heart stops because other parts of the body are malfunctioning , that’s ordinary dying. And CPR is not a treatment for ordinary dying.

@drkathrynmannix book 📚 “With the End in Mind” should be on all medical school curricula 👍

[Sarah-Jane Bailey @sjvbailey]

@ProfMarkTaubert recommending starting conversations about “what matters most” to a patient rather than jumping straight to whether CPR is appropriate #ReSPECT. Ensure you understand the mental capacity act.

How has #COVID19 changed the way in which we talk about dying?

For #DyingMattersAwarenessWeek, @ProfMarkTaubert shares his experience of what has changed in palliative care during the pandemic.

Mixed impact of COVID-19 on having honest conversations about what lies ahead. Happening more frequently out of necessity? Discussed more in the public domain than before? Still misunderstandings and misgivings abound. Read @RCPLondon mythbusters to improve practice

Heart failure is a long-term condition needing lifelong support.

Everyone needs to know what it is, how to recognise it and when to seek help to optimise outcomes.

@emmavardy2 Thanks!! Job applications submitted so fingers crossed it won’t be long 😬

[Sarah-Jane Bailey @sjvbailey]

Re-discovering Twitter after a year of maternity leave. Working @NorthBristolNHS. Proud to say that, after 11 years as a junior doctor, I joined the specialist register with a CCT in Geriatrics/General Internal Medicine today! #MedicineisBrilliant @RCPLondon @GeriSoc

[Sarah-Jane Bailey @sjvbailey]

@McCoubrieRachel Thank you! And we’ll see... interviews over the next month or so eek!

[Sarah-Jane Bailey @sjvbailey]

@DaniEddy Thank you! Definitely need a catch up please -I want to hear all about your fellowship (as long ago as that may feel now) and your new clinical lead work at WEAHSN! Text me some dates you might be free, maybe a Wednesday lunch break if you’re working from home?

[Sarah-Jane Bailey @sjvbailey]

Congratulations Eileen, well deserved and good to see such important work recognised!

[Eileen Burns @EileenBurns13]

Thank you!

So well deserved. Congratulations!

Couldn’t agree more!

[Danielle Eddy @DaniEddy]

My year as a #QIfellow has totally renewed my love for both QI and my clinical work. Amazing day to day variation and it has given me the opportunity to explore and expand my leadership skills #QI_taunton

[Sarah-Jane Bailey @sjvbailey]

Learning to fail well -such an important concept

[Danielle Eddy @DaniEddy]

We all need to learn from failure in QI work. @triciaqif teaching on how failure is so valuable, otherwise how do we learn. As doctors we don’t like to own up to failure, we should be talking about what we have learnt from our failures-so much value in these lessons #QI_Taunton
