"Most people believe #frailty is inevitable & irreversible. This clinical trial showed that a simple, low-cost, home-based intervention can reverse frailty and significantly improve muscle strength, bone mass, activity levels and slowness in 3 months." bgs.org.uk/blog/twenty-mi…

Sarcopenia is a risk factor for recurrent falls and prolonged hospital admissions. Our resources can be used to provide education on the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia or to simply raise awareness. #PositiveAgeingWeek

"Understanding #delirium risk factors is important in prevention. Treating delirium quickly results in more favourable outcomes, so the fast identification using neurophysiological, neuroimaging, blood and CSF biomarkers are being looked at." #WDAD2024 bgs.org.uk/blog/world-del…

"An ideal #FrailtyScreen should be short (≤5 minutes) and multidimensional, reflecting baseline 2-4 weeks before presentation. Screening should be routine, prompt (<4 hours after arrival) and completed at first contact in ED." bgs.org.uk/blog/getting-t…

Extremely proud to present the Pathfinder service development & research RCSI School of Physiotherapy to date to an international audience #ICIC24 many thanks to #slaintecare for the opportunity. Inspirational day, reflecting on the integration/ collaboration of our 2 organisations so far.

Delighted to see and hear Letterkenny Pathfinder highlighting the excellent collaboration between our organizations, hospital, prehospital, primary care and community.

Please remember this weekend that you should only call 112 or 999 in an emergency. Being brought to hospital by ambulance will not get you seen any quicker once there. Please help us to keep ambulances available for life threatening emergencies. 🙏
