Still playing catch-up on articles published over the summer. Next is this one: Ambulance responses to older adults who have fallen: a systematic review: academic.oup.com/ageing/artic...

New @age-and-ageing.bsky.social paper: What are we teaching UK medical students about ageing and geriatric medicine? Results of the third British Geriatrics Society national curriculum and teaching survey. Read it in full at academic.oup.com/ageing/artic... @graceinvaders.bsky.social

New paper out in @age-and-ageing.bsky.social: Maintaining independence at home after a fall: a process evaluation of the MAINTAIN multicomponent intervention for people living with dementia. Read it here: academic.oup.com/ageing/artic...

New paper in @age-and-ageing.bsky.social - New horizons in improving research capacity in English care homes for older adults: academic.oup.com/ageing/artic...

We want to generate evidence that leads to better care for everyone living with dementia and neurodegenerative diseases in England, wherever they live and whatever their background. Read more about how we're collaborating across the @nihr.bsky.social network to achieve this ⬇️ tinyurl.com/ysr42u5b

Paper out: Lessons from the PROTECT-CH COVID-19 platform trial in care homes - important that we learn from our experiences with this large platform trial during the pandemic and use these to shape future care home trial infrastructure. Read it here: www.journalslibrary.nihr.ac.uk/hta/publishe...

When data is more than admin.. "evidence of circumstances supporting culture shift to one where resident data informs day-to-day care. A systematic approach to collecting data on residents’ characteristics and QoL could increase staff awareness and directly inform care planning and delivery. "

75 years ago Marjory Warren described the harms of immobility during hospitalisation - this @age-and-ageing.bsky.social journal discussion paper, written with @martinezvelilla.bsky.social discusses where we've made progress and, more importantly, where we haven't. academic.oup.com/ageing/artic...

We don’t know how many delayed discharges are due to lack of social care capacity, say @blimeysimon.bsky.social‬ and @sarah-arnold.bsky.social‬ – and that’s because we stopped counting. Read the blog: buff.ly/L1Gb8Oc

Excellent @adamgordon1978.bsky.social is updating us on the current outlook of community care. #AddingLifeToYears #AGILEconf25

Was great to get out of the office on a trip to Hull yesterday. Lots to think about from visiting the Jean Bishop Centre and @adamgordon1978.bsky.social @proflizsampson.bsky.social loads to think about for community involvement and proactive care that @acha020.bsky.social might want to do too

What an amazing line up at the upcoming @agilecsp.bsky.social conference! Book your tickets now and come and join us 🤩🤩 @briandolan.bsky.social @vickigphysio.bsky.social @adamgordon1978.bsky.social @jojenningsnhs.bsky.social @claireocphysio.bsky.social

Our team were delighted to be at the launch of @acha020.bsky.social - one of our key collaborators where our PhD students will be able to work with leading ageing research! @proflizsampson.bsky.social @adamgordon1978.bsky.social @bartscharity.bsky.social @qmulpsychiatry.bsky.social

A fascinating and inspiring evening at the launch of @acha020.bsky.social - what a brilliant project to have in our borough! #WalthamForest #LivingAndAgeingWell #HealthyAgeing

Fantastic evening at the launch of The Academic Centre for Healthy Ageing @acha020.bsky.social - huge ambition to connect research into real change with our communities in North East London. Congrats to all the ACHA team on an excellent launch

An inspiring panel discussion with Dr Claire Dow, Professor Jo Martin & Fiona Miller-Smith. Sharing insights on moving from vision to reality - creating ripple effects across the hospital & into the community. “Passion and dedication brought ACHA together.” @qmul.ac.uk @bartscharity.bsky.social

“From the outset, ACHA has been about bringing people together - we have built a team that listens first.” ACHA Director Lauren Ellis shares our journey so far - co-creating our strategy through collaboration with local people and health and care staff.

What does the future of healthy ageing look like? Bold ideas. Brave conversations. Real change. A vital conversation with @jkdhesi.bsky.social & sheffielddoc.bsky.social. “We have a lot of work to do to change the narrative around ageing.” @gerisoc.bsky.social @england.nhs.uk

“We all know the statistics – people are living longer but not necessarily with a good quality life. There has never been a more important moment to launch ACHA.” Dr Amanjit Jhund, Chief Executive at Whipps Cross University Hospital, kicks off today’s celebration event.

Incredible evening launching @acha020.bsky.social having a peek into the amazing research and community work for the population of East London planned with the fabulous @proflizsampson.bsky.social & @adamgordon1978.bsky.social

“The musculoskeletal system is not a focus of any ageing centre locally or nationally - except for ACHA.” Professor Hamish Simpson on what is unique about ACHA and what drives our work.

“I truly consider my role at ACHA to be the opportunity of a lifetime. “A key part of this role will be harnessing the power that exists across our integrated care system.” @proflizsampson.bsky.social on the change that ACHA is committed to making, local to national.

“If we get things right here, we have the potential to propagate learning not just across the country but across the globe.” @adamgordon1978.bsky.social shares our aspirations for the future and the change that’s on the horizon.

We've launched our new report 🎉 Led by @proflizsampson.bsky.social, 'Delirium Matters: priorities and opportunities for health and social care policy in England’ has 5 urgent recommendations to improve delirium care in England. 📕 Full report: shorturl.at/pio7T 📝 Policy brief: shorturl.at/khrCT

Like many others, we’ve left X so we’re new around here - and with a new name too (formerly Dunhill Medical Trust). We’re looking forward to connecting with those who have great ideas and methods for improving the health and well-being of older people.

Really looking forward to speaking at @rcoanews.bsky.social #Anaesthesia2025 where I've been asked to talk on "Advance Care Planning: Getting it Right" - hoping I can do the topic justice! www.rcoa.ac.uk/events/anaes...

Care home staff (UK) - what technologies do you use to provide person-centred care? Have you got 5min to respond to a questionnaire please? For nursing homes & residential homes for #OlderPeople or #Dementia @goltc.bsky.social

Do you work with older people living in care homes using technology? Do you have ideas of how technology could help you deliver care? Complete our NIHR Healthtech Research Centre survey to help us work out what technologies to evaluate in this setting: forms.office.com/e/4tnrpKhLgy

We're hosting an online workshop on 7th May at 10am about supporting people at risk of falls. Care home, domiciliary care and NHS teams welcome. We aim for fun, education and to inform discussions about future evaluation of falls prevention technology. To register email [email protected]

We are absolutely thrilled to have Prof Adam Gordon to be joining us at our conference. He will be speaking on where care homes fit in the future plans for health and social care. We can't wait - and if you can't either, scan the QR code or go to tinyurl.com/agileconf25! #AGILEConf25

The latest in our @acha020.bsky.social blog series - Shared Opportunities and Challenges - ACHA forges a research collaboration with the LUMC Centre for Medicine for Older People. @wilcoachterberg.bsky.social @drsimonpm.bsky.social @proflizsampson.bsky.social acha.qmul.ac.uk/research/sha...

A fantastic afternoon spent yesterday bringing together colleagues from the Centre for Ageing Resilience in an Ageing Environment and our team @acha020.bsky.social - lots of possibilities for cross-London collaboration to bring the whole research pipeline for ageing together end-to-end!

A fantastic day of academic exchange between @acha020.bsky.social and colleagues from Leiden University Medical Centre - so much work we can do together to improve the care of our respective populations in the Netherlands and North East London! @proflizsampson.bsky.social

"We need to radically rethink how we deliver public services otherwise millions of us will miss out on a good later life. We believe it is essential to raise accessibility of homes." Says Andy Burnham, @mayorofgm.bsky.social.

Our study team recently travelled to the Netherlands with nursing home representatives to explore innovative approaches in #SocialCare research. Read more: arc-em.nihr.ac.uk/news/explori... @rachaelecarroll.bsky.social @adamgordon1978.bsky.social
