@ Heathercoops

Thank you for the opportunity to share our @AcuteFrailty @RoyalSurrey pathway development. We’re only at the beginning of our continuous improvement journey.

There's a new provider for Swindon's GP out-of-hours service this morning. But don't worry, getting hold of a doctor outside of normal hours stays the same - call 111 to arrange an appointment.

Happiness at school is more important than academic qualifications. That's according to a major report from the @LSEnews which says it should be factored into the curriculum. This school in Dartford holds 'healthy minds' lessons:

We’re teaming up with @UHBristolNHS 🤝 to talk about when you should attend our Emergency Departments 🚑 and what you can do to get home from hospital sooner 🏥➡️🏡 Take a look at #StayWell for more advice on how you can support your #NHS during the busy winter period ❄️

Discussing opportunity for joining up health and care records through LHACREs with west and south west NHS and uni colleagues @WEAHSN @WEAHSNInform @sw_ahsn @debselsayedd @Andy_Kinnear

DTOCs - “a numbers game” but they are PEOPLE! #homefirst

ECIP #homefirst Prof John Bolton says there is clear evidence that the system needs intermediate care services and therapy led reablement @thecsp @theRCOT Instead we use historic models that are not longer fit for purpose

Professor John Boltonn describes how 1 in 5 patients leaving hospital has care over prescribed. Imagine how much capacity could be created in the system #HomeFirst @ECISTNetwork @lizsargeant

Great morning on the Isle of Wight supporting the board round on Compton Ward. @crucken #Red2Green #endPJparalysis @IoWNHSTrust @ECIProgramme

As @lizsargeant says ‘We need to work differently ‘ #homefirst The #mindset must change it’s very doable as @ECIProgramme are proving

Daily conference calls are not the answer to expediting discharges. More importantly it's understanding the flow across the system #Homefirst

It’s a great report .... does anyone have experience of running proactive community MDTs (including with GPs) to help pre-empt crisis & emergency admissions for older people with dementia & frailty? Please share 👌🏽@theQCommunity @WEAHSN @ECISTNetwork @ECIProgramme twitter.com/thekingsfund/s…

It takes an average 2hrs 50mins to go 289 miles from #Newcastle to #London but 5hrs 30mins to go 284 miles from #Penzance to #London. Even longer when your train breaks down trying to get the coffee machine working. This is just not OK. @GWRHelp #RailFail cornwalllive.com/news/news-opin…

People of Birmingham...next time you are stuck on a hospital corridor, wondering why there seem to be no Doctors, remember this...the @HomeOfficeUK & @AmberRuddHR may have deported the Dr twitter.com/djnicholl/stat… My friend & colleague Syed will be gone within 14 days.I AM ASHAMED

Flu is very infectious and spread by germs from coughs and sneezes. To reduce the risk of spreading flu, use tissues when you cough or sneeze, bin used tissues and wash your hands often. Catch it. Bin it. Kill it: bit.ly/2D4kUXe

@ShaunLintern @RSylvesterTimes Worth remembering 1) now only a minority of people actually get local authority social care 2) younger adults accounting for the biggest social care spending growth. Fixing social care only part of the solution to the NHS problem
