Very pleased to be invited onto the Commission. Look forward to working with the team to support implementation of quality End of Life Care for all, acknowledging 85% deaths occur in those aged>65, leading cause of death dementia, 43% in hospital @mancunianmedic @adamgordon1978
We are delighted to share that BGS President @JKDhesi has joined the Palliative and End of Life Care Commission as Commissioner. She will be representing older people who make up a large proportion of deaths in the UK to ensure their voices are heard. https://t.co/jF96kcdo8s

Simulation training is one way to increase clinicians confidence when working in hospitalathome. @UKHaHSoc @GSTTnhs @GSTTGeriatrics
In this article, authors outline the development of #HospitalatHome simulation, a simulation-based training aiming to improve early career doctors' confidence in providing care in patients’ homes.👇 https://t.co/rs0KnI7vLK

Our residents experiences-as hospital at home grows, it should not be forgotten as an ideal place to train in internal medicine, especially as drs need to develop skills in generalism, shared decision making, positive risk taking and recognising dying. https://t.co/7kUdemw6Cr

Yup, we are seeing between 1 in 4 & 1 in 7 older patients choosing a non operative route when BRAN approach used in #CGA based #POPS perioperative services across the UK @GeriSoc @CPOC_News (article about this approach/ impact on SDM/outcomes just accepted -will share soon!)
Interesting stats from @totallytigers at our Future Surgery conference #FS24 - 15% of patients don't proceed with surgery proposed. Shows importance of a robust shared decision making process.

Cardiogeriatrics has great face validity but for pre-TAVI no strong evidence base with a lack of good trials in this area. Enjoy our systematic review out now. @KatherineChin18 @GSTTGeriatrics @BrHeartValveSoc @GeriSoc @escardio

Do you know which drugs to stop first in orthostatic hypotension? You might be surprised! The best drug is losartan, says @laramitchdr — and give it at night #BGSconf
