Follow-on work from @PEACHStudy was led by @nchadborn to consider the evidence says about the GPs’ role in improvement in care homes. Evidence is scant overall but some important signals about what works well, useful for those working around Enhanced Health in Care Homes.

This work, designed to help protect care homes against further COVID-19 outbreaks, can only work if care homes sign up to support it. Please join the webinars to learn more.

The penultimate, and possibly most important paper from @PEACHStudy is published in @Age_and_Ageing today including insights on measurement for change, the role of GPs, and where CGA fits in when running improvement collaborative’s with care homes: academic.oup.com/ageing/adva…

BGS Vice President for Academic Affairs @adamgordon1978 on @Channel4News tonight #carehomes #Covid19UK
“Care homes are not hospitals. They are designed to be homes.” A leading clinician warns @Channel4News it could become “commonplace” for patients with Covid to be discharged into England's care homes this winter. Prof Adam Gordon says it will be a “significant burden.”

We are now 13 weeks into UK lockdown affecting many aspects of our lives. Spare a thought for families who haven’t seen their loved ones living in care homes either. We are conducting a study exploring their experiences dmu.ac.uk/research/centres-i…. @Jayne_NurseProf
