Sometimes I think geriatricians are like Ginger Rogers, doing the whole dance backwards, in heels. You have to know all the things you could do for your patient - and work out (together!) when not to do them ❤️🐘❤️@gerisoc Jugdeep Dhesi proud of our colleagues #BGSconf have fun!

Learning about structured medication reviews - often done with pharmacists in primary care, NICE approved, for complex polypharmacy. Good evidence for better outcomes following SMR — reduced hospitalisation, social care, med dependence, and side effects #BGSconf

Great to hear from Katharine Bhatt and William McKeown at #BGSconf about the updated British Geriatrics Society frailty e-learning module. This module is totally free for health and social care professionals and can be found here: bgs.org.uk/elearning/2023…

Any other TLHP PGCert survivors having cold sweats at all this talk of Miller's Prism/Pyramid and ten Cate's EPAs? #BGSConf

And as for the sudden appearance of the geriatric medicine HST curriculum CiPs... I can almost hear my EPortfolio whimpering #BGSconf

Heart failure is the commonest reason for admission to RUH H@H, and this surprise revelation was the catalyst to developing community IV administration competencies - chimes with our experience on Somerset H@H #BGSconf

Sadly, the Somerset contingent didn't get it together to take a group photo, so here's a couple! Not pictured: DebGompertz, Sjbirchenough, and Katie Hyde (sorry if I've missed anyone!) #BGSconf

Thinking back, "I am so sorry for the embarrassingly loud laughter" is pretty much an evergreen tweet for me at #BGSconf... Perhaps I should have it tattooed on my forehead

What does the data show — that’s what you should be doing. If there is no data - what are the consensus guidelines? And do what you would want for your mum. Three fantastic pieces of advice from Dr Michael Norton for all of us in roles caring for patients #BGSconf
