This is considerably worse than the pandemic and on the front line services are getting decimated. Not good for patients and not good for staff 👇 bbc.com/news/articles/…

In 2019 @NHSEngland committed to invest in better care for older people with frailty by supporting primary care & community services

But it’s been eviscerated by successive ‘leadership’.

There is plenty of evidence that comprehensive assessment of older people followed by accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment improves outcomes. Lowering antibiotic thresholds to treat things they may not have carries its own risks. Geriatricians know this 🙄🤷‍♂️

A hospital that chooses to close its same day emergency care beds & fill them instead with unselected patients is a hospital that doesn’t understand emergency care and is in denial that the same problem won’t be there tomorrow.. leading to more extremis- just sayin.. 😉🤷‍♂️
