Looking forward to an informative & inspiring day at #UKCPAConf Do you work in surgery? Be great to chat about the work I'm doing with Centre for Perioperative Care to help improve patient care & outcomes (& if you don't come find out how all pharmacists can help make every contact count)

Two 10 minute videos of exercise, one chair based the other low impact are ideal for seniors. Daphne Gichuru, 82, is waiting for back surgery & took part in the fitness session with Joe Wicks at Guy's and St Thomas'. Thank you Joe! 👉 ow.ly/ai7C50UhShw British Geriatrics Society
