I’m really proud to have been involved with creating this great resource, which should make it much easier for clinical teams to support patients to quit smoking (link in comments) #medsky #perioperativecare #pqip
Together with @rcem.ac.uk we are outraged that older people wait so long to be seen/ treated in emergency departments. Read our response to the stark warning from The Royal College of Emergency Medicine. t.co/FXv36Ab7ro

So much thinking at the moment about how we support people in the last stage of life. We need this thinking to focus on the needs of the many! @gerisoc.bsky.social @mancunianmedic.bsky.social @mariecurieuk.bsky.social @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Great to represent @gerisoc.bsky.social at launch of @rcphysicians.bsky.social report, acknowledging need for holistic/personalised OP care for older people living with frailty/MLTC to enable older people to live healthily for longer & deliver shift from hospital to community &disease to prevention
Thanks to @bbc5live.bsky.social @adrianchiles.bsky.social for inviting me to speak about a healthy BMI, diet, exercise for older people. So much we can do to age well and live longer. Take a look at evidence for proactive care @gerisoc.bsky.social Good for us as individuals & for our NHS!
Yup, this is why we need to respond to Sir Chris Whittys survey request about medical training for the future. We must plan for a workforce who can deliver healthcare aligned to needs of patients, the majority of which have MLTC. Similar, of course, for nursing/AHP @gerisoc.bsky.social
Some hot takes from me and some KF colleagues on what cuts to integrated care boards are going to mean for the health system. 👇

Brilli to have Drs Vernon & Law highlighting that 75% of deaths occur in people> 65yrs & we need to commission services that address needs of those living with MLTC, frailty, dementia, taking health inequalities into account. A system level approach is necessary @gerisoc.bsky.social
