Looking forward to #BGSConf tomorrow, and catching up with some old friends. Disappointed though to see how many references to 'the elderly' there are in the posters. Have we really not moved on? Surely @gerisoc.bsky.social is in a position to help stop such 'othering' ageist language?

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
