"The contributory factor of medicines to falls is under-recognised by clinicians as is the impact of falls on patient behaviour. #MedicationReview should be triggered by a first and any subsequent fall." Read the BGS Blog by Anne Bentley #pharmacist bgs.org.uk/blog/what-matt…

Are you or a loved one in hospital? Getting up and getting out of your pyjamas, if you can, helps you get back to normal more quickly ❤️ Getting moving prevents blood clots, muscle wasting, chest infections and helps you get home sooner.

Imagine a world without occupational therapists. 🫣 No, we don’t want to either! OT is an integral part of helping us to #ActNow, so we can do the things we want to do. This #StressAwarenessMonth, we would love to hear your stories of improving wellbeing through OT.

Our profession’s biggest challenge is that there is lack of understanding even within the medical community what we do and perhaps more importantly how #OTs facilitate meaningful #functional outcomes for people affected by short or term illnesses. #OccupationalTherapy

"Emergency departments are in crisis and older people are clearly among those most affected. It is unacceptable, and very often dangerous, for older people to be in ambulances or on trolleys for long periods of time waiting for care" via @adamgordon1978 bgs.org.uk/policy-and-med…
