This programme is extraordinarily moving.
Teaching us that we can all learn new things and that #BSL can help communication in so many ways.
Also once again showing the benefits of intergenerational interactions. #OldHandsNewSkills

The comment in the middle.
‘Frailty services’ (hopefully integrated) are only good if they work for the individual 👏🏻👏🏻
Thoroughly enjoying the Frailty and Urgent Care SIG meeting in Glasgow today. It’s good to see so many familiar faces.

Person at my clinic.
When I asked about their social circle.
‘I’m going to the funeral of my last friend this month’.
Goodness. For a moment I had no words.

They shared a memory and we both shared a tear.

We often underestimate the reality and impact of loneliness on our older people.
