Stop employers covering up abuse Hey! Do you remember the Harvey Weinstein case? Non Disclosure Agreements silenced victims of abuse - and it's not just happening in Hollywood. They're used in the UK to cover up all kinds of miscondu...

NDAs can silence victims of abuse & harassment. Let's change this! Sign the petition to ensure the Employment Rights Bill bans NDAs in cases of misconduct. #StopAbusiveNDAs #EmploymentRightsBill you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

And these are the factors that Seacroft consider in their assessments

And we really need to know what third sector support is there and build relationships with them….

The importance of seeing people in their own home, not in a clinic

Now the Seacroft team - currently talking about statifying the population, clinically correlating the identified people, then having different people doing their own specialist parts of the CGA

A great question - why are so few geriatricians in community geriatrics? Places/posts need creating but I think we need to train more. I was supposed to go into community once upon a time cut events overtook me …. I may revisit that one day

Key principles and supporting documents in setting up intergrated frailty systems

And this also ties in well with the reactive (especially Virtual Ward) system - shared skill sets allows resilience with staff moving from team to team

More outcomes - if Proactive care works as well as this why aren’t we all doing it?

The Hull Model of Proactive Care - frailty based, not aged based (I approve!)

@gerisoc.bsky.social now hearing about BRAVE AI as a risk identification tool allowing identifying patients at risk of all sorts of adverse outcomes, allowing interventions - wow woukd love to see this locally #BGSConf

The proactive model leads to a significant improvement in mortality and reduction in harmful medications

20.11.2024 12:12 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Process is 1) identify the frail patient 2) data gathering/assessment 3) problem list 4) the plan 5) share the plan with patient and health care. If a domain of the I GA has been missed an electronic alert/warning prompts the clinician

Enhanced care/proactive care in care homes, difficult to identify who is in care homes, care home staff not trained to do CGA and issues finding enough GPs with the contract issues - solution an electronic CGA. I like the fact that on the ICGA things are only documented once

Evening Medical Updates…. Online (and in person) monthly event run by the RCPE Trainees and Members Committee, each month is a different topic from IMT curriculum. Quite a few hospitals subscribe and show in lecture theatre, and RCPRE members can watch on line
