What’s your most important organ? I’d sometimes rather see a 4AT than a blood pressure. (Both is best, of course, but the state of the brain is vital) 🧠❤️
Use the 4AT as a NEWS for the brain? 🤔

Important slide from Dr Carly Welsh. Importance of identifying delirium early in the ED. Higher rate of mortality and longer LoS for pts with delirium. Higher rates in Pts with high CFS @GeriSoc #bgsconf

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!

Never underestimate the journey of an unpaid carer as their loved one moves into a care home. They have likely had their own needs set aside, probably been ignored by professionals & had to fight for the rights of both themselves & their loved one... that's trauma.

Can anyone help Nikki? The uncertainty has a huge impact on career planning…
Approaching the 1 year anniversary of CESR application submission. No outcome. Have just been informed by @gmcuk that it has been sent to a ‘specialist associate’ for assessment as opposed to a college assessor….
