The Government’s 10 Year Health Plan for England goes big on the move to neighbourhood health. Our "Demystifying neighbourhoods" document outlines what it means in practice, how it differs from existing models, and what it could mean for older people’s care. www.bgs.org.uk/neighbourhoods

Have you had the opportunity to see our Core20PLUS5 framework?
This framework is based on similar ones from NHS England. It aims to help identify older people who have unequal access to and experience of healthcare, and to target action to counter that inequality. Click to view: buff.ly/TiIT0lU

Could you volunteer to advance dementia research?
It was our best #WDAD2025 in Greater Manchester yet. 100 delegates. 30 on waiting list.
New learning and connections. International visitors. Lived experience of delirium. I gained so much. Going all in for delirium (thanks @amaclullich.bsky.social). We have come so far, more to do.
At our event in GM only a couple of colleagues from memory clinics. Information on delirium should helpfully be part of post diagnostic support for people with dementia.
#Delirium is very common in people who are the end of life.
Yet it is still underdiagnosed, and unfortunately this often means unnecessary distress for patients and their families.
Guidance for professionals:

Hopefully not on World Delirium Awareness Day! #WDAD25
We have taken over 1,300 people through our Polypharmacy Action Learning Sets. Through this work, we recognised the need to support NHS organisations to develop systems and services to address problematic polypharmacy and overprescribing. We hope this helps. 😊 @stevechemist.bsky.social 👏👏
