The anti-GP violence, abuse & aggression continues unabated. This is our waiting room @wilsonstsurgery y’day after a patient trashed it. Negative media narrative, anti-GP rhetoric, unrelenting demand & unrealistic expectations leads to this level of violence. Where will it end?

Do you have a system for #delirium care in your hospital?
Lessons from the last few yrs show that achieving improvements in delirium care is a particularly complex challenge.
Need action on several fronts - all are needed.
