If you have to read one blog? Read this - @RoyLilley on excoriating form Sort of like @GeoffreyBoycott analysing cricket 🏏 And then see some details- H/T @HSJnews for the work In a climate of lack of funds where people can’t get treatment as dictated by @NICEComms et al? Nurses being de-banded? Corridor care what it is due to lack of resources - social care or otherwise? Senior execs walk away with payouts Case in point? Navina Evans Led a workforce plan which inspite of the name “long term” lasted for about a year Backed PAs ahead of Doctors Less said the better on work to tackle #Racism and dismantling of WRES The reward? 150K of public purse money And then there’s Chris Hopson And we wonder why the #NHS fails and why leadership continue to lose respect- amongst its staff Expect to see all back into NHS roles shortly- somewhere.

Oko 14h časova sam sedela na Vračaru ispod drveća u dubokom hladu i uopšte nisam imala osećaj da se nalazim "loncu" i da se kuvam. Šta više, vazduh je prijao. Čim sam izašla na sunce i beton, nije mi bilo dobro i sad ozbiljno pitam - kad i ptice na grani znaju da se planeta zagreva, zbog čega je u proteklih 10 godina (a i sad se seče), posečeno toliko šuma, ali i drveća u gradskim sredinama, ima li neko naučni i proveren odgovor, a ne samo nagađanja?

Wayne Rooney on the half-time show. “I like a lot of them artists, but I thought it was crap.” Best commentator on the BBC broadcast & has been the breakout pundit of the tournament. Authentically speaks his mind & knows the modern game. He's a treasure.

Everyone wants to do person centred care. But do we actually do it? Start off by finding out a bit about people. Easy to integrate into even short encounters like taking bloods or ward round reviews.

Older person confused. Urine dipped. 'Positive'. Antibiotics. Feeling of "job done." Except: delirium missed, true causes not found, patient discharged still confused. 🫥🫥🫥 ➡️ New confusion = delirium. Same attention needed as chest pain or acute kidney injury. 👍👍👍

Wish I’d seen this - but absolutely. We absolutely want more geriatricians doing more CGA but separate to this we need to be able to transform the care for older people with frailty so that people understand and manage the basics of freikty, delirium, deconditioning,
@profsimonconroy tells @GeriSoc #BGSconf that geriatrics need to evolve from a clinical to a transformative speciality

9/n and the vulnerable. A 12 hour stay for an older person can really harm them.
