A great new resource! www.bgs.org.uk/policy-and-m...

Thank you for the opportunity to discuss #POPS SUp, (#NIHR funded) with vascular colleagues at #vsasm2024 - excited to get going - examining implementation and effectiveness of #CGA based periop care at 18 NHS sites very soon!! @gerisoc.bsky.social @cpoc.bsky.social

I've spent most of my career in the third sector so delighted to have Emma from @britishredcross.bsky.social and Tom from @ageuk.bsky.social speaking here at #BGSconf talking about the work their organisations do in older people's care.

Chris Whitty highlights that geriatricians can’t prevent frailty. A systematic, concerted public health and policy effort is required #bgsconf

Looking forward to seeing #BGSconf delegates back at the Excel today for day 3 of the conference. I'm excited for the policy session this afternoon where I get to chat policy with @adamgordon1978.bsky.social @jkdhesi.bsky.social and @ruth-e-law.bsky.social.

National Clinical Director for Older People and Integrated Person Centred Care @sheffielddoc.bsky.social kicks off the community stream at #BGSconf.

Profound and powerful presentation from @sheffielddoc.bsky.social at @gerisoc.bsky.social meeting - reminding us of the personal stories, in this case his grandfather’s, that underpin the need to shift health policy more towards community based and proactive approaches to care #BGSConf

Tom Downes @sheffielddoc.bsky.social tells us that the delivery of care for an #ageingpopulation is no longer guesswork. 3 shifts for the NHS 10y plan: 1. Sickness to prevention 2. Analogue to digital and 3. Hospital to Community 👆🏻 *this* @gerisoc.bsky.social #BGSConf
