Do take a minute to look over these updated guidelines from NICE to help prevent falls.
Updated NICE guideline recommends occupational therapists, or other trained professionals to undertake hazard assessments to prevent falls in older people and people 50+ at higher risk, aiming to reduce hospital admissions. Learn more: nice.org.uk/news/articles/ne…

🏴‍☠️ I’m staggered by the level of dangerous overconfidence this physician assistant has! She is bragging about how she paved the way for other physician assistants to assist in theatre and run their own specialist clinics in PLASTIC/BREAST surgery. 💀💀 ⭕️ Apparently, she made a big sacrifice early in her career to stick around on the wards “to negotiate” further scope creep. ⭕️ Well, thank you for making big concessions and agreeing to work alongside the labourers (junior doctors) on the wards for a couple of months before evolving into a full-blown specialist in plastics. ⭕️ The screenshot shows how many qualifications the average plastic surgeon needs before becoming a plastic surgeon, and you will never see these surgeons boasting about their work in plastics. This type of video highlights PAs' desperate need to show off.

This pair of absolute thugs berating, bullying & humiliating Zelensky because he won’t roll over for a dictator whose forces have invaded his country, raped & murdered his people, bombed hospitals, killed children & filled mass graves in the forests. What a vile pair they are.
Wow, Vance and Trump are attacking Zelenskyy in the Oval Office

To ensure timely discharge for patients in hospitals, more investment is needed for community services. Older people are particularly at risk of poorer outcomes if kept in hospital when medically fit - @JKDhesi

Exactly, this is why we need triple assessment at the front door - NEWS, CFS, 4AT. Will help to get the right team to the right person at the right time / institute evidence based care that delivers what matters to the individual @GeriSoc @RCPhysicians @RCEMpresident @UKHaHSoc
More evidence showing the importance of CFS and 4AT. So simple and so important!
