Do you know which drugs to stop first in orthostatic hypotension? You might be surprised! The best drug is losartan, says @laramitchdr — and give it at night #BGSconf

Don’t forget pelvic floor exercises - these will improve continence in large proportion of women and much lower risk than surgery!
Bladder bouncing around and weak sphincter are main cause of SUI in women. Unfortunately no drug treatment but surgical interventions such bulking agents are available to address it. #ANZSGM2024

This raises a really important issue - access to specialist health care (in this case mental health) for people in aged care homes. Older people deserve the same access as everyone else in the community, regardless of where they live! abc.net.au/news/2024-03-27/a…

I’ve been thinking about the future of aged care. Aged care planning currently assumes that future demand for residential care will decline with people preferring care at home. Yet people are increasingly moving into old age with insecure & unaffordable housing. Or homeless
I can only echo those sentiments @edstrivens - congratulations @JacquiCTClose on behalf of @anzsgm! Your achievements are an inspiration to all geriatricians
Many, many congratulations to Prof Jacqui Close AM for being made a Member of the
Order of Australia! A very well deserved recognition for all the tremendous work she’s done improving care for older Australians. @JacquiCTClose @anzsgm @DrRobOSullivan

Awesome thread that resonated with my experience of that stage of my training. Perhaps I’m looking back with rose-tinted glasses; I certainly remember some very tough shifts and the odd rotation with unsupportive consultants, but for me was mostly a very positive time

So little evidence for strategies to reduce falls in hospital but evidence that it harms both staff and patients, and wastes scarce resources. Let’s shift the conversation from falls to function
