4. Prof Martin Vernon of @GeriSoc—the association for healthcare for the elderly—said the BGS opposes the bill, the central 6-month safeguard is unreliable, and there could be “pressure within the system” for AS to become part of the economic solution for health and social care.

Good to see Frailty-attuned discharge being highlighted at Frailty Collaborative launch. Front door frailty and hospital at home services are key parts of this, and we have resources on both FDF buff.ly/gubvQkB and H@H buff.ly/HjV13xo

We have produced a report on Hospital at Home services for older people. This report, endorsed by the @UKHaHSoc, explains how Hospital at Home services are provided and how they might develop in the future as a key part of community-based healthcare. buff.ly/3ZgRhlo

2 of 10 key BGS messages on older people's healthcare: Older people are the main users of health and social care services. Despite this, care and support for older people is often disjointed and hard to navigate. buff.ly/By1N3ID

Why are older people still being excluded from research studies and clinical trials? We @GeriSoc campaign for their inclusion
British Geriatrics Society@GeriSoc

Older people must be included in health and care research. The 2023 CMO's Annual Report on Health in an Ageing Society identified the need for research to include older people, and we have co-signed a statement of intent to take action. buff.ly/RZ8omfu @NIHRresearch

It was great to attend this event with @GeriSoc VP for policy @Ruth_E_Law this evening. A rare opportunity to see inside the Old Bailey, in addition to the interesting discussion.

Great to join @drjanetownson @homecareassn @ProfMartinGreen @CareEngland @DamianGreen @MartinHI_UK at the Old Bailey ⚖️ to discuss the future of the care sector. Really interesting discussion about where the sector is and where it's going.
