#Rehabilitation should be integral to care plans in all settings, including long term care. Timely rehabilitation improves older people’s lives, reduces readmission to hospital and avoids premature long-term care.

"Around 50% of people with severe frailty will be in their last 12 months of life and yet rates of Advance Care Planning discussion remain low. As geriatricians, we are uniquely placed to identify those older people likely to benefit" #ACPDay2024 https://t.co/fW2XzK2MLL

To those who are quiet
Standing on the outskirts
Taking time to think & reflect
Who are patient and thoughtful
Who include everyone
Who listen & build perspective…
…Your value and worth is high

Leaders,
Don’t let loudness drown them out 🦉

So sad to hear that student nurses are still be told in the acute sector that to work in the community is to deskill. This proves otherwise. It’s not de-skilling it’s re-skilling. Let’s bust that myth. @Worksopnurses @TowneClaire @NottsHealthcare

With so much public media constantly pushing “don’t call 999” and “ambulance services are busy” … I think it’s important to promote that the emergency services ARE there for you and when you SHOULD call for help 👍🏻 #999forEmergencies
