Concerned about encouraging the unsteady patient to walk in case they fall? They'll only become more unsteady the longer you wait. The clinical evidence is in your favour to take the risk. #Deconditioning = harm, despite the perceived lack of 'trauma'. #endPJparalysis

#Frailty is a long term spectrum disorder and a condition characterised by lost biological reserves across multiple systems #SoOGeriatrics2021

Bed rest is bad: Combatting hospital immobility harm

Kate Masters EndPJparalysis - Brian Dolan OBE, RMN, RGN Elective & Emergency Care Improvement Support Team Brian Dolan OBE, RMN, RGN One of saddest sights for me is frail patients having to spend their last 100 days in hospital because nowhere for them to go & be well cared for in a homelike setting. Delayed Discharges can deny people of their right to a calm loved non clinical end of life. Kathryn Mannix

The very concerning impact of bed rest on our older people❤❤❤#EndPJparalysis #dressedisbest !!

Pathfinder has demonstrated that there is a safe alternative to ED conveyance for older people following low-acuity EMS calls. A model which could be spread, with local adaptation, nationally & internationally. Read this article by members of IFEM GEMSIG: ifem.cc/pathfinder

Just one week since our #frailty service started and the impact of targeted #CGA and early #therapy at the front door on patient outcomes is striking…can’t wait to see what’s to come Indrajit Chatterjee Rachel Blears @Natasha08632160

Would love to hear from therapists (OT/PT) working in acute frailty with regards to what outcome measures you are using..please get in touch if you have any that you would recommend…thanks #acutefrailty #frailty #occupationaltherapy #physiotherapy #outcomemeasures

Comprehensive geriatric assessments allow for identification of the multidimensional aspects of older patients care. Use of a CGA allows more accurate diagnosis as well as making a treatment plan that takes into account what matters most to those we treat! posters.geriemeurope.eu/posters/p01/

Desperately seeking some expert advice, or the recommendation of a physician who has knowledge of managing GI Amyloidosis (AL). Doesn’t have to be UK based. #amyloidosis #giamyloidosis #ALamyloidosis

Waiting for the discharge to be safe❓ Waiting for the physio ax before 'allowing' the patient to walk❓ Waiting for the results of one more test before they can go home❓ If you wait for zero risk. The patient never stops waiting❗#EndPjparalysis

Hospital acquired deconditioning (HAD) is often an avoidable harm that we can manage better! Why aren't we measured on this. And if we were do you think HAD would reduce? Resulting in improved function, reduced delirium, maintained muscle mass, and more ppl returning home

Please can all my CSP colleagues make sure all details are correct online .... Watch this space for the next step by the chuck sparrow @GwawrJob Rachel Blears H Marshal-Nichols Hannah Willis Kate Campion Evs G Tracey Robertson Julie owen Jade
