On average 15% of older people being discharged from hospital are readmitted within 28 days. With each admission their level of #frailty and care needs increase, generating even more demand for health and #socialcare at home or in a #carehome . bgs.org.uk/policy-and-med…

It is important to recognise that there are currently not enough healthcare professionals across the multidisciplinary team to care for the complex needs of an ageing population. A workforce strategy must be published, urgently acknowledging this reality. bgs.org.uk/policy-and-med…

❓ Can #delirium be managed safely at home?

➡️ Crucial issue given the growth of community-based care as an alternative to hospital admission

⭐ New pilot study on feasibility of new approach - appears safe & effective

All older people with #frailty should receive comprehensive multidisciplinary assessment as soon as possible after they arrive in hospital. This is often best achieved by dedicated services such as acute frailty units, or frailty assessment teams. bgs.org.uk/policy-and-med…

Older people with rehabilitation goals should not be transferred to a #carehome without assurance of appropriate #rehabilitation . The principles of effective rehabilitation for older people are outlined by the Community Rehabilitation Alliance. Chartered Society of Physiotherapy bgs.org.uk/policy-and-med…
