Congratulations to Blair Graham and co - an important research programme for older people using emergency care: Psychometric validation of a patient-reported experience measure for older adults attending the emergency department: the PREM-ED 65 study doi.org/10.1136/emerme…

One of the most important things any incoming government can do is establish sustainable approaches to care for older people living with fraity. If our system can work for this group, then it can work for everybody. Learn more at: bgs.org.uk/GE2024 @gerisoc

"Anybody, of any age, who is queueing for emergency or elective care stands to benefit if we can enable older people with frailty to access care as soon as they need it, wherever they need it within the system." bgs.org.uk/policy-and-med… Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh Royal College of Physicians British Geriatrics Society

How can we integrate evidence-based medicine and person-centred care paradigms to reach pragmatic decisions when caring for complex older people in the ED? A real pleasure to work with friends around the world on this: doi.org/10.1136/emerme…

In last year's Frailty in European Emergency Departments (FEED) study, we surveyed 68 hospitals in 17 countries on their provision of frailty-attuned emergency services. Pleased to see the results now reported in @SJTREM: doi.org/10.1186/s13049… #GeriEM @EuropSocEM EuGMS - European Geriatric Medicine Society

The Frailty&Ethnicity study exhibition is officially open to the public. I'll be here until 2.30pm. It's nice and cool in here at the Haymarket shopping centre so if you are in Leicester and want a break from the sunshine come and have a looksee.

Good on ya. In my experience, it’s not the word to which people object, it’s the state. Better than renaming, understand frailty and tackle it. Often in hospitals, no matter the word, many are comfortable in denigrating the people who live with it. That’s what needs to change.
