#Frailty is potentially reversible, especially in its earlier stages, and can be managed well by comprehensive assessment and tailored interventions, rehabilitation, care and support. bgs.org.uk/Blueprint #BGSBlueprint

Waiting for the discharge to be safe❓ Waiting for the physio ax before 'allowing' the patient to walk❓ Waiting for the results of one more test before they can go home❓ If you wait for zero risk. The patient never stops waiting❗#EndPjparalysis

Hospital acquired deconditioning (HAD) is often an avoidable harm that we can manage better! Why aren't we measured on this. And if we were do you think HAD would reduce? Resulting in improved function, reduced delirium, maintained muscle mass, and more ppl returning home

@Jennifer1OT @DrGustavoDuque @mikelizquierdo_ Hi Jen, I can’t seem to see what it is? X

@DrGustavoDuque @mikelizquierdo_ @RachelBlears thought you might be interested in this Rach?

We are pleased to invite you to the Frailty Seminar Series FREE webinars. @mikelizquierdo_ will present: “ViviFrail: #Exercise for Older Adults with #Frailty” on Wednesday, March 9th, 12-1 PM EDT. Have you missed our previous webinars? Here is the link: aimss.org.au/about/events/f…

Concerned about encouraging the unsteady patient to walk in case they fall? They'll only become more unsteady the longer you wait. The clinical evidence is in your favour to take the risk. #Deconditioning = harm, despite the perceived lack of 'trauma'. #endPJparalysis

Comprehensive geriatric assessments allow for identification of the multidimensional aspects of older patients care. Use of a CGA allows more accurate diagnosis as well as making a treatment plan that takes into account what matters most to those we treat! posters.geriemeurope.eu/posters/p01/

Would love to hear from therapists (OT/PT) working in acute frailty with regards to what outcome measures you are using..please get in touch if you have any that you would recommend…thanks #acutefrailty #frailty #occupationaltherapy #physiotherapy #outcomemeasures
