#ChooseGeriatrics Profile: @adamgordon1978.bsky.social Immediate Past President BGS Adam says: “Geriatric medicine means being on a mission to improve care some of our most vulnerable citizens. That feels important to me.” If you are an advocate, geris is for you! @gerisoc.bsky.social 👉🏻Repost

Thank you @gerisoc.bsky.social for the opportunity to speak at #BGSconf - would be great if as many BGS members as possible feed into the consultation for the new 10 year plan that is in development here 👉 change.nhs.uk/en-GB/

@lucypgeridoc.bsky.social doesn't just say this. Her books are very clear instruction manuals on the art and science of high quality geriatric medicine.

Bias and discrimination regarding older people and mental health, not helped by ageist products available normalising grumpiness in older people says Tom Gentry from @ageuk.bsky.social #BGSconf

A slide about bias and discrimination with images of products saying things like 'warning: grumpy old man's.

*The* Professor Ken Rockwood #ChooseGeriatrics “Actually, I didn’t #choosegeriatrics, geriatrics chose *me*” What better ambassador for the best career choice in healthcare? #BGSConf @gerisoc.bsky.social

#Geriatrics needs better *branding* Many don’t understand what #geriatricians do! @jkdhesi.bsky.social Skilled in: - risk holding - communication - pragmatism Many parallels here with #GeneralPractice #GP #Generalism #ChooseGeriatrics #ChooseGeriatricsForGeneralists #BGSConf

@suzanne-reeves.bsky.social describes prescribing antipsychotics to older people as a bit like driving around the windy roads of the Lake District in the dark - start low, go slow. #BGSconf
