Looking forward to presenting on perioperative care of older people and geriatric syndromes tomorrow at the Central Coordinating Committee / Hong Kong College of Anaesthetists Perioperative Webinar - registration is free for all to attend, see poster with QR code attached

Really encouraging to see the same trends emerging from big cohort data supporting the role of geriatricians in the emergency general surgery space

Congratulations Rajni and team on your work highlighting the importance of SDM and utilising SDM tools

Looking forward to discussing POPS and the international healthcare challenge on Thursday - looks like a fantastic line up, encourage all (especially geriatricians in the periop space) to attend!

Addressing the international healthcare system challenge with Rachel Aitken, author of: Which preoperative screening tool should be applied to older patients undergoing elective surgery to predict short-term postoperative outcomes? link.springer.com/article/10.100… #BGSconf

Interesting discussion around patients waiting for surgery being given new diagnoses and needing more time for optimisation. All about framing, says Jugdeep Dhesi — our communication skills as geriatricians is vital, as well as using the data to explain our work to patients #BGSconf

Fantastic to hear how #POPS services are being established in Australia from Rachel aitken. Lots happening ⁦ANZSGM⁩ ⁦ANZSGM_POC⁩ through collaboration/sharing of resources between ⁦British Geriatrics Society⁩ & international teams ⁦Rajni Lal⁩

Why do we uphold Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment? It reduces mortality, improves independence , reduces hospital admissions and can even reverse the progression of frailty. CGA is the way! buff.ly/3ZaQZJc #BGSconf
