So pleased that Shelagh O'Riordan is taking on this role. Fantastic opportunity to support patients with frailty in the community. #ProudSister

Great to be on the panel discussing holistic, patient-centred #AnticipatoryCare in PAWS service for moderately frail older people in Islington. CS Mike Clowes Age UK Islington

Proud of the recent work on cancer screening at City Road Medical Centre We have a notice board in reception, continue to audit, identify & discuss with those who do not attend for screening. Our fab Physicians Associate & reception team have updated our website too cityroadmedicalcentre.org.uk/cancer-advice

Than you so much for a great course. I’d highly recommend it.

Really disappointed to hear that NHSE are planning to dramatically cut Ageing Well funding. This is essential for patient-centred, community care for older people. Retrograde step. British Geriatrics Society HollyParis Sarah Mistry Ruth Law hsj.co.uk/finance-and-ef…

It was fantastic to have the first British Geriatrics Society Community and Primary Care committee meeting with such an enthusiastic and knowledgeable group of people caring for older people in the community. HollyParis Dr Amy/Mrs A Pea Joanna Gough @kilgore_cliff DebGompertz Lisa Hill

Fantastic blog from our ICAT frailty nurse highlighting the importance of holistic, person-centred care within the patient’s home. ⁦Whittington Health NHS Trust⁩ ⁦Ruth Law⁩ ⁦Josephine Sauvage⁩ bgs.org.uk/blog/anticipat…

People aged 65 and over account for 40% of all admissions to hospital. Funding community services for older people can significantly reduce emergency hospital admissions and help NHS backlogs. - Day 4 #BGSInvestInCare bgs.org.uk/InvestInCare

If CFS >4 chances of successful CPR are essentially zero. CFS = 5 'Mildly Frail' implies help with finances, transportation, heavy housework, medications, shopping and housework #BGSConf

We have launched the #BGSBlueprint! Thanks to all involved in creating this essential guide for commissioners and system leaders on high-qaulity integrated and sustained health and care services for older people.

We know that #CGA is as or more effective than treatments like antihypertensives and other drugs. Is our branding of CGA the issue? We need to develop consistent messaging around its use — to be “loud and proud” about what can deliver for our frail patients. #BGSconf

This is a great role for a pharmacist passionate about care for older people. Come and join our wonderful ICAT team. #communityfrailty
