Continence is often overlooked by health care professionals, and equally the most important thing for our patients.
I was happy to help develop this important resource.
Our latest elearning course, Continence in Older People, is now available. What's more, this course is free to BGS members!
The course covers the impact continence has on the older population, the symptoms, causes, and treatment options. buff.ly/2ALgvlV

This is a great e-learning resource for anyone who wants a comprehensive guide to managing continence in older people.
I am not at all biased because I helped develop it 😅🥰

Life can present us with incredibly tough situations, and it’s completely understandable to feel overwhelmed by the obstacles we face. During these times, it’s vital to remember that each challenging season in our lives carries its own purpose and the potential for growth.

"It was so real, and I was so scared. I was paralyzed on a bed and being burned alive. Just in time, someone rescued her, but suddenly, she was turned into an ice sculpture on a cruise ship buffet. Next, she was in an experiment in a lab in Japan. Then she was being attacked by cats."

Well that’s the end of the being the nation’s Ambulance Auxiliary for @stjohnambulance I’ve had a great time supporting @NWAmbulance @NHSEngland while this partnership existed for the last few years. Now it’s ending. But the lifelong friendships I’ve made continue.

1.8% of patients CFS 6-9 survived to discharge. resuscitationjournal.com/art…
In this study by @lucypgeridoc , those patients who do survive to discharge often have QoL not compatible with their values. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3151…

This is a fantastic example of what can be done when teams and individuals are focused on creative, thoughtful patient-centred care @confuseddoc
The new blog for @GeriSoc, by UHL’s Dr Chris Miller and Dr Emily Laithwaite, explores how our approach through the Frailty Same Day Emergency Care unit is helping deliver faster, safer, and more appropriate care for older adults.
