The report aims to improve understandings of #daycentres among social care/health professionals & potential collaborators. It showcases the complexity of these services & their diversity, shedding light on what makes them multi-faceted ‘interventions’. 2/6
The Covid-19 pandemic led to a greater appreciation of the need for in-person contact and the difficulties facing some older people when they could no longer meet other people in their #daycentre when these closed temporarily. 3/6

We need to know and talk about #ElderAbuse the same way we talk about #NAI & #DomesticViolence !

Here are some facts
#Neglect, psychological abuse and financial exploitation is more common than physical or sexual abuse

More common in #ResidentialAgedCareFacilities

It leads to increased risk of mortality and morbidity including more hospitalization and ED visits
We need to #Screen for #ElderAbuse in ED !
The Elder Abuse Suspicion Index (EASI) is a validated short screening instrument

Ok, let's do this. What are good YouTube channels that you watched (or still watch) because they're fun to watch, but you also ended up learning from them?

Only recommendations from people born this century are allowed

@gauravjoshi2000 @arshkabra @KabraRuhi @ShahAvanti02
Include a link to the YouTube channel, what it's about, and why you liked it. And tag others who could add to the list. Younger kids deserve better recommendations than the ones from the previous century.
YouTube for youngsters: Epic Rap Battles of History. This did more for @ArshKabra's history knowledge than ICSE History ever did.

Thank you for having me on the @ELRAgeSpeaks Radio Show @MervChangeAGEnt. You are a wonderful host.
If anyone is interested in listening to my dulcet tone 😂 you have come to the right place.
Other reasons to give it a listen:
1. It’s sexual health week, so it’s my annual reminder that many older adults are sexually active, enjoy a variety of sexual acts, take sexual risks, but can face structural and personal barriers to realising their sexual agency and expression #SHW20 #SHW2020
2. You get to hear my Barnsley accent 😱
