New BGS report exposes continuing shortage of geriatricians bgs.org.uk/policy-and-med… Royal College of Physicians

It can be shocking just how little attention is paid to mobility in hospital. Both at the start: no comment on how the person moves now. Silence on what they were like at baseline. How can we help people “get better” (or home) if we don’t know what better looks like for them?

We are excited to host Liam Pearson-Noseworthy & our own Lynn Iveson 💙 for our 25th EnCOP education webinar on 29th Feb. Physical activity & ageing is a hot topic & what better way to highlight than sharing emerging evidence as well as expert easy to follow guidance for practice.

BGS is pleased to see the long-awaited Community Health Services guidance on #ProactiveCare has been published. Proactive care is a vital part of helping to delay #frailty and maintain older people’s independence. It will also save the NHS money in the long term. bgs.org.uk/policy-and-med…
