Sarcopenia is bad for older people, bad for healthcare & bad for social care systems #BEPOP #Physio24

I always find these stats horrible. BUT important to remember that you can mitigate with exercise!! #physio24 thanks @JanetThomas47 for reminding us to look for opportunities with all patients

‘Poverty is second only to age as a driver of health inequality’ A salutary reminder from @WeAreARMA at #Physio24 arma.uk.net/msk-health-ine…

Great group think chat in the session on developing research pillars for all #Physio24

Fantastically engaging session

Anyone working in acute older person’s physiotherapy, please let me know what outcome measures you routinely use on wards? @AGILECSP @GeriSoc

I missed this live tweet but lovely to see it in print @GeriSoc! timely reminder of the value of our work with @BreatheAHR @GSTTGeriatrics in physiotherapy Thanks @hannahjdye @alexalexdk @katiethePT

@adamgordon1978 highlights that last winter the NHS broke every record in missing targets. It would be impressive if it wasn't so depressing. Much of this highlights the crisis in social care. #BGSconf

Co-created and delivered with @BreatheAHR and a room full of joy every single time!

Beware of deconditioning - my contribution to today’s @GdnSaturday magazine. theguardian.com/science/2023/s…

The algorithm from the World Falls Guidelines stratifies into Low, Intermediate and High risk - physiotherapists have advise and intervene at all levels #FallsAwarenessWeek

More cheap headlines which fail to acknowledge (1) how the NHS is under-managed; and (2) how important management and administrative capacity are in supporting clinical staff. And (3) the derogatory language around ‘pen pushers’ is beyond depressing. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/….

So who will listen?!
