👵👴 Falls are the most common reason older people go to hospital in the UK. Staying active helps prevent them—but many people don’t know about the resources available.
We want YOUR views on how #paramedics can help. 🚑

‘10% of those over 65 and 50% of those over 85 live with frailty. It can be slowed or reversed with the right prevention and care, improving the quality of life for older people.’ @JKDhesi BGS President Elect supports this collection on frailty from the @NIHRresearch
📣 Just published! Read our latest #NIHRevidence Collection on frailty and how we can improve the quality of support and care.

@TUIUK please sort your seat booking policy. Don't allow bookings that leave an empty window seat (even if you pay to select seats). As a family of 5 this forces us to have a toddler climbing over a poor person in the aisle seat when they decide they want the other parent.

Surely it's not that hard to adjust the system to recognise bookings for families with small children to allow them to choose seats together. It's enough to make us not bother to be honest. Won't be looking at @TUIUK flights again until the kids are moody teenagers....

The SHED study is published! Thanks to the 100s of contributors around the UK...
This paper raises a lot of questions - how will it influence your work? What post test probability of SAH and aneurysmal SAH are you, and your patients, comfortable with?

We said goodbye to Basil on Monday after 17 years of snuggles. In my son's words, she was the best cat ever. It is amazing the impact pets can have and it has left a big hole in our family.

Thanks for inviting me to talk at this workshop. It was a great day and plenty of food for thought for how #robotics, health and social care can work together to improve the wellbeing of older people.

solutions, especially in #frailty.

Another fascinating afternoon at @mshedbristol sparking new ideas and partnerships in the area of 'Frailty, fall prediction and fall prevention'. Talks today touched on why this is a critical area in need of innovation for health and care providers in the region. 1/2
