Demonstrably reminded in #hospitalathome today that ‘clinically fit for discharge’ is largely meaningless in older and frail people especially if they live with dementia and have had a delirium. 1/3

Early intervention in the community – to help prevent hospital admissions of older people living with frailty – should be prioritised, but workforce retention and funding are barriers #BGSBlueprint rcni.com/nursing-older-…

🚨Highly Recommended Tool🚨 The 4AT is a simple and short (<2 min) delirium detection tool designed for easy and effective clinical use. It does not require special training. the4at.com

70-80% of #carehome residents have cognitive impairment or #dementia. Average life expectancy is 1 year in nursing homes; 2 years in residential homes. Providers largely not state-run and there is a long standing issue with the level of state reimbursement for care.

"Most people believe #frailty is inevitable & irreversible. This clinical trial showed that a simple, low-cost, home-based intervention can reverse frailty and significantly improve muscle strength, bone mass, activity levels and slowness in 3 months." bgs.org.uk/blog/twenty-mi…

Merry Christmas to all those working in the NHS today Many staff in the NHS are grossly underpaid (even on Christmas day👇) but none more so than Junior Doctors who frequently graduate with >£100k debt RT to support them & ask government to pay them ALL fairly #PayRestoration

"These findings in Age_and_Ageing should prompt us to operationalise rapid screening in clinical practice. Embedding #frailtyscreening in ED should be part of a broader protocol to reflect the unique needs of older adults, ideally incorporated into IT." bgs.org.uk/blog/getting-t…
