We know considered, timely (soon!) social care reform is essential to deliver quality healthcare for older (&younger) people &to reduce daily crisis management in NHS. A consistent message from patients, carers, @gerisoc.bsky.social & our partner organisations. Let’s build on what we already know

Why is there this stupidity movement about “raw” things? 🧪 #medsky

Seeing the #DignityInRisk is an essential part of learning how to care for older people, especially those who live with #frsilty. By the way, do hashtags work on this platform?

It often seems more like geriatrics chose me. Either way, I went to medical school to become a geriatrician. So that’s working out OK…

@krockdoc.bsky.social really enjoyed your talk at the BGS National Conference yesterday!
