‘A new baseline’, ‘home with 4x carers stay seated’, ‘community physio in 6 weeks’, these statements made up a question from a geriatrician at RCP conference last week. Any thoughts please physios and OTs on what seems to be a worrying trend @thecsp @AGILECSP @theRCOT

Better care of older people, and faster discharge from hospital, and community prevention of admission all need more OTs. ( and physios!) Let’s push that up the agenda attoday.co.uk/almost-three-q…

DGRI is currently experiencing high levels of admissions. It would be greatly appreciated if members of the public could consider all options for treatment before attending the Emergency Department, including the use of NHS24, your local GP and Pharmacy.

15% of older people being discharged from hospital are readmitted within 28 days. Investing in coordinated discharge, intermediate care and #rehabilitation services saves the NHS money and improves lives of patients and families. - Day 7 #BGSInvestInCare bgs.org.uk/InvestInCare
