A lovely presentation from Dr Pam Seenan on her team’s work with the Beatson Oncologists to improve care of older people with cancer.
Geriatric Oncology is a whole new sub specialty.
Call the COPS! (Cancer of Older People) team.

Funnily enough, having a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment helped people a great deal!
Well done team! 👏👏👏

Well that was truly awesome. A presentation from a medical student Maddie Pritchard from Aberdeen on the effects of social deprivation on outcomes for frail older patients.
A complex subject! #bgsconf #SDOH (social determinants of health).

I’ll tweet some of Maddie’s graphs. Some fascinating results, that aren’t straightforward to explain….

A very interesting account from my colleague and friend, Dr Jane Bishop Miller, at the #bgsconf.
Talking about the #COVID19 pandemic and their local response but a few key findings to share.

Lovely to see @l_whyte at the #bgsconf today in Glasgow!
Lots of great work in @NHSLanarkshire on #Frailty and their work as a community multidisciplinary team. 👏👏

There is research evidence to back up what’s being done. GPs and Primary Care Teams can do this, but don’t have time so having the MDT is working well.

How do we address the health inequalities that afflict our country so badly?

So many challenges. Older people are often discriminated against and yet are also often quite passive in accepting what they experience.

One of the most inspirational people on my Twitter timeline is @Lyndseydunn7.
Now talking here at the @GeriSoc #bgsconf on delirium and how we need to identify it and manage it in the real life situations we see every day.

It’s very impressive to see what Lyndsey and the @NHS_Lothian team have achieved with their programme.

We know what the definition is for #delirium, yet the language used in clinical records is often poor. Well said, @Lyndseydunn7 !

I’m really enjoying this talk from Dr Alice Radley, a renal physician, at the @bgsconf.
It’s all about advanced renal disease and how to support older people with this condition.
It’s quite common!

We need to develop a better supportive care framework for caring for people.
There are some excellent programmes around for “best supportive care” for people with end stage renal disease.
