Dr Linda Dykes has moved to Bluesky outlines her top tips for using the Clinical Frailty Scale #FrailtyNHS

Proactive frailty in primary care: A primary care system fit for frailty - Lloyd D Hughes, Tara Verity, Liz Lawn, Deb Gompertz, 2024 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Shivani Misra The answer is, and always has been, social care. The results of Lansley’s 2012 Health and Social Care Act were always going to catch up with us. We need a cross-party strategy to weather this through the next decade.

Loss of therapeutic levels of nursing/proactive care management in hospital to stop people deconditioning the first place Lack of community nurses and primary care and hospice beds to provide an alternative to hospitals

Clear description of why it’s important to identify frailty in order to deliver personalised care and deliver outcomes that matter to individuals. Check out additional resources British Geriatrics Society DebGompertz Sean Ninan Adam Gordon MBE

Collaboration between acute frailty and us at #UrgentCommunityResponse in Brighton and Hove to reduce inhosp stays. Looking to see where biggest impact might be. Looking for any projects where pts earmarked for IPR where rehabed at home. Any outcome data welcome.

Centre of London with poor WiFi. Hardly 21st century.

A visit to The Academic Centre for Healthy Ageing (ACHA) from not one, but three, countries worth of geriatricians today. Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean colleagues heard about our plans for ageing research in NE London and we learned much from their efforts in translational and applied research.

Older people with frailty are particuarly vulnerable when care is provided in inappropriate settings. See this powerful piece from @ClaireVBostock on corridor care: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14…

Crazy.

Medicine wastage costs NHS around £300,000000 annually. I regularly declutter PTS homes of so much unused drugs. Often on repeats which are never taken.
