In February 2024, 1 in 4 patients between the ages of 70-79 waited 12+ hours in A&E, for the 80-89 group this was closer to 1 in 3, and for 90+ it was 1 in 3 via Royal College of Emergency Medicine #ResuscitateEmergencyCare bit.ly/OlderPeopleED2… 📷

British Geriatrics Society UK Hospital at Home Society Royal College of Physicians have released a joint statement in support of the term #HospitalatHome instead of #VirtualWard. The term ‘virtual wards’ does not reflect the level of care and skill required, nor does it provide clarity to patients. bgs.org.uk/policy-and-med…
