Spring is springing

Continuity of care and improved access are not mutually exclusive ift.tt/oK0vClO

Pleased to attend the @age_uk reception on Ending Long A&E Waits and Corridor Care. No patient - especially no older person - should be left waiting hours in A&E or treated in a corridor. It was important to hear how our local services are performing and discuss the practical steps we can take to bring waits down and restore dignity to care. I look forward to working with Age UK and colleagues across Parliament to push for a fully funded plan to end Corridor Care for good.

❗️NHS ENGLAND POLICY ↳ "Patients aged over 65 presenting to hospital as an emergency should be assessed by a competent clinical decision-maker within 30 minutes of arrival using the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) & the 4AT tool for delirium." #delirium #MedTwitter #frailty

@mancunianmedic Is it curly wurly?

Urgent care services affect how quickly local people can get treatment when they need it most. Changes are being considered across Birmingham & Solihull, which could impact access, travel times and waiting times for residents. Share your views 👇🏿 birminghamsolihull.icb.nhs.uk/get-involved/b…

A major UK study has revealed that the financial burden of hip fractures extends beyond hospital walls, with social care costs often matching or exceeding medical treatment.

🚑 We took the Corridor Care crisis to Parliament🚑 Over 90 MPs came to our event to speak to us about fixing long A&E waits. An amazing turnout 🎉 Thanks so much to our campaigners for making it happen ❤️ Together, we'll protect older people from unsafe, undignified care.

❤️‍🩹This is the real-life impact of the A&E crisis. Experiences like Anita's are all too common. So many older people are suffering long waits in undignified, unsafe conditions. We're urging the Government to take action to end Corridor Care.
