Brilliant paper on why promethazine is not a good option to aid sleep, and yet prescribing of it has doubled in last 5 yrs. What about OTC sales too, and also diphenhydramine. #anticholinergics #falls #dementia #delirium #ACBscore www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Delighted to see this report published today. I undertook the research via my consultancy, Watson Research & Training, and much of the evidence was derived from the Dunhill Medical Trust & Chief Scientist Office studies that explored the medicine-related needs of older people with sensory impairment

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋
