Lovely trip to London for NELA Project Team meeting, updating on my PhD project: long-term outcomes following EmLap. Unsurprisingly, ⬆️ CFS associated with higher risk of death. Most notably in first 90 days, but also further than this. Look forward to sharing more soon!

A practice example shows how critical reflection helps nurses to enhance the person-centred care of older people in our latest peer-reviewed article Dr Gayle Madden RMN Beth Goss-Hill MA, BA,RGN journals.rcni.com/nursing-older-…

Love the conversations about CFS. It’s useful to grade people rather than just look at age. But people with CFS of 6 can cook sunday roast and look after grandkids. People with CFS 7 may still be full of chat and good at fixing electrical equipment! #LeedsFrailtyEd

Great talk from Claire Swarbrick with SNAP3 results. Outcomes worse when delirium occurs - emergency surgery, frailty and age all huge influencing factors. We MUST be proactive in preventing/minimising delirium for EmLap patients if we are going to achieve best outcomes #AAAConf

Common problems but we have amazing resources to support patients and HCPs to prevent/manage consequences of frailty/delirium & really need to focus on implementation - check out Centre for Perioperative Care British Geriatrics Society POPS & refs such as pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35001376/

It’s remarkable how people are always looking for that magic wand or treatment, the answer is usually staring us in the face: its multicomponent interventions. Let’s get all that right.
