You’re too kind 🙏 lovely to be here and great opportunity to share practice and learn from Chinese colleagues.

I have cared for 1000s of palliative care patients, Philip, & I find your dismissal of a particular group of people as being 'beyond help' both crude and arrogant. The last months, weeks, hours & even days of life can - and very often do - contain love, wit, tenderness, humour.

Kim Leadbeater MBE MP Dear Kim, Approx 4% of people are cared for by palliative care physicians. GPs and geriatricians care for most people as they die. This is not to construct any sort of league table, but to point out the illogicality of excluding BGS from the conversation.

Looking for anaesthetists, geriatricians & physiotherapists to help with our Delphi- trying to understand opinions on the effect of preoperative exercise rehabilitation on postoperative cognition in older patients. Please share. Many thanks in advance! forms.office.com/e/QW7JKaBhfz

I am honored to conduct this study in Brazil. I hope this inspire other centres of in-development countries to organize the care for the older people with hip fractures. Thank you to all the authors!! Marcos Ferreira Minicucci Adam Gordon MBE Prof Opinder Sahota

And in watching the resident doctor confidently present cases on the ward round chatting to patients with great warmth. Or the team sharing their favourite tunes. Ward rounds are a solid 7/10 enjoyment for me. It’s really important to try and make the bread and butter enjoyable

We seem to be repeating studies examining what people want from healthcare services in diff med conditions. They repeatedly say they want honest/open/holistic conversations with a focus on what matters to them rather than focus on med condition & continuity of care British Geriatrics Society

A reminder that BGS members can now apply for funding for the European Academy for Medicine of Ageing (EAMA) 2026-2028 course.  This is a fantastic opportunity for geriatricians on a path to leadership. Find out more here: buff.ly/n1Rz5x8
