"Community-based rapid response services for people who have fallen have the potential to reduce unnecessary ambulance callouts. It is important that such services are properly resourced." via Jennifer bgs.org.uk/policy-and-med… #BGSInvestInCare

15% of older people being discharged from hospital are readmitted within 28 days. Investing in coordinated discharge, intermediate care and #rehabilitation services saves the NHS money and improves lives of patients and families. - Day 7 #BGSInvestInCare bgs.org.uk/InvestInCare

DGRI is currently experiencing high levels of admissions. It would be greatly appreciated if members of the public could consider all options for treatment before attending the Emergency Department, including the use of NHS24, your local GP and Pharmacy.

Anneka was a beacon in our hospital. Wonderful colleague and lovely with patients. If you can, please sponsor Alan running for Brain Tumour research.

‘A new baseline’, ‘home with 4x carers stay seated’, ‘community physio in 6 weeks’, these statements made up a question from a geriatrician at RCP conference last week.
