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 @RCollEM #ResuscitateEmergencyCare bit.ly/OlderPeopleED2024

We’re developing standards for the care of older people living with frailty.
The consultation closes on 18 June 2024 and we welcome your feedback.
To find out more about frailty and its impact, listen to our podcast.
Podcast and feedback links are in the comments.
ALT Graphic includes Healthcare Improvement Scotland logo. The quote reads: 50% of people over 85 will live with frailty. But frailty is potentially reversible particularly in the early stages. The quote is by Dr. Lara Mitchell, National Clinical Lead for Frailty and Consultant Geriatrician, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

Mind your language, I never really understood what a mechanical fall meant so good to see that on the list😊..Preferred language when referring to older people in a health context | British Geriatrics Society @NHSAAQI @ninamcg77 bgs.org.uk/resources/preferr…
