@WorcsTravel @worcscc @myworcester There is NO warning at Perdiswell roundabout so all traffic from Droitwich road getting to Barbourne turning round and going up Sunnyside Road. Chaos.

⚠️ If travelling into Worcester from the north this morning DO NOT use A38 due to a road closure at Barbourne Road Depending upon your origin/destination we suggest: Holt Fleet bridge/A443/Hylton Road Bilford Road Blackpole Road Routes via Warndon

@joannechodgetts It’s sounds like a good death Jo. A lot to be grateful for.m. Never easy but could have been much more challenging… Big hugs M xx

My Nan died on Saturday peacefully, pain free, unbelievably medication free & it appeared to be on her terms, in her own time. I will be forever grateful for the support from my NHS family & the care from the NH for those 2 short weeks. My brain isn’t ready yet for the quiet.💖

@drkathrynmannix @royalacademy That looks amazing. Thank you for sharing. Next time I’m in town …. Xx

@royalacademy Look @KeebleM !

In this year's #RASummer Exhibition you'll find Grayson Perry RA's 'Covid Bell', made of almost 400kg of solid bronze. @Alan_Measles says: “I’ve always wanted to make a bell; it's one of the categories of objects that are traditional and potent."

@jupiterhouse1 Fabulous. I can feel a return trip coming on….

Great sunset to finish off a day with too much time looking at computers! Feeling better. #whitstable

@Trisha_the_doc I loved it. I can see Ralph Fiennes in lead role. Shame about Lovey Ken having the film rights 🙄

I finished listening to “A Gentleman in Moscow” on the way home this afternoon. A long book, but very pleasant listening, and I became fond of the key characters as the decades unfolded. Anyone else read it? #BookClub

@Bloody__Holly @RodKersh @DavidAttwood12 @jaa_adams @DrPeterWeeks1 @DrNeenaJha @DrSimonHodes @drgandalf52 @pkonline84 @Dochayter @LizLawn @drkathrynmannix @Becbaines Agreed with all of the above. In my experience Care Coordinators if well trained & sensible can introduce the subject to patient & family & explore current understanding & expectations. Makes our job much smoother can be discussed & agreed quicker than doing it all ourselves.

@RodKersh @DavidAttwood12 @KeebleM @jaa_adams @DrPeterWeeks1 @DrNeenaJha @DrSimonHodes @drgandalf52 @pkonline84 @Dochayter @LizLawn @drkathrynmannix @Becbaines Dave, I think this is perfect work for non-clinical hands! Using ARRS funded care coordination to proactively collect this info is time well spent if framed right. Expertise is a finite resource, so using some CC or social prescriber nouse here is 🤷🏻‍♀️👊🏻

Community hospital: 5 min walk to quaint Herefordshire cafe for lunch 😍 No bleep! ✅ No on-call/weekends ✅ And we seek a locum! We can put in cons support for a ST/CT1+, or it may suit newly-cooked GP or Geris CCT fancying break from acute stuff (or anything in between). DM me!

@Bloody__Holly @GeriSoc @phillyor Thank you. GeriGPs are in very safe hands with you two. I can stand back and watch and be proud from the sidelines

@GeriSoc @KeebleM @phillyor Thanks for being an awesome role model and sage, Maggie. You’ll be sorely missed!

@KeebleM reflects on how the GeriGPs group was initially formed and talks about how proud she is that the GeriGPs group has now merged with the Community Geriatrics SIG to create the new Community and Primary Care Group chaired by @Bloody__Holly and @phillyor #bgsconf

@djbeckett Themes: Long Term conditions/Frailty/Mental Health/Complex comorbidity/Approaching the end of life? Anticipatory Care DES and Proactive Care DES and Shared Care Records are the tools for the new ICSs to tackle this very issue. Won’t solve things overnight but a good start

Another (very) busy weekend on-call. Striking how many patients are falling between gaps. Either between hospital specialities, or between primary care and secondary care, or health and social care. The problem with these gaps is they’re nobody’s problem to fix. Really tricky.

Not too late to sign up. If you’re interested in how to set up or run a #VirtualWard or #HospitalAtHome then this is the conference for you!! And you get free membership of the society for a year thrown in for free!!

@jupiterhouse1 @Dochayter @EileenBurns13 @SarahMistryBGS @GeriSoc I know and that was the reason I came 😊 so lovely to see you all.

@Dochayter @KeebleM @EileenBurns13 @SarahMistryBGS @GeriSoc Today’s meeting might have been work related Maggie, but also meeting friends!!!

Last ever NHS related work trip to London. Excited to see colleagues from NHSE @Dochayter @EileenBurns13 @jupiterhouse1 and British Geriatrics Society @SarahMistryBGS . Delighted that future trips to London will be entirely Art Culture History Travel and Friendship related. 😊

@campbell_c_m @ikongallery @NationalGallery Great artist. Great conversation. Thank you.

Join me, Jonathan Watkins, Director @ikongallery and Amanda Hilliam on Tuesday 22 at 1 @NationalGallery or on zoom, to discuss the marvellous Carlo Crivelli, master of illusionism and the cucumber. Jonathan and Amanda’s show on Crivelli opens on the 23 @ikongallery

Limited space remaining for the London DGM Course Day 1 on Saturday 26th February 2022 @GeriSoc @rcpsychOldAge @RCGPNWLondon @rcgp @rcgpfirst5 @LDNAiTFirst5 @CamGeris @HackneyVts @BMAGPtrainees @RCPL_trainees @rcpsych @RCPhysicians @KeebleM @keester76 @DrEvaJK @BGSfringe

@lucykellaway Great article. As someone who has been promoting Positive Ageing through our @ICOPEWorcs in Worcestershire this is music to my ears and chimes with so much of what we talk about 👏👏👏

My FT essay on why it’s still perfectly acceptable in polite society to be rampantly ageist ft.com/content/04e5a9…

@_zachmoss @AGoodDeath Compassion in Dying website

@lucypgeridoc It’s madness. So much for personalised care. How do we reset in an NHS that is pathway driven and guideline orientated? How to we enable the silent masses to rebel? How do we encourage our hard pressed colleagues to engage with people not processes?

It really is madness. It makes patients sad and anxious. It wastes time, energy and precious planet’s resources. It’s unethical. We need to have a re-think.

@Trisha_the_doc Got it on the last one! Thought “is this American???” would hate to break my run. New addiction!

Wordle 207 4/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Hmm. I wasn’t sure if the spelling of this was right. But I went for it anyway.

@Trisha_the_doc @CarlBovisNature Agreed. Should be taught in schools!

@KeebleM @CarlBovisNature It should be! But not just medical students!

One of the best ways to improve your balance is to stand on one leg from time to time. When you are waiting for a bus, or the kettle to boil. I’m not as good as I should be at practising what I preach, but I do try! Think of @CarlBovisNature’s blue tit when you do it?
