The Government’s 10 Year Health Plan for England goes big on the move to neighbourhood health. Our "Demystifying neighbourhoods" document outlines what it means in practice, how it differs from existing models, and what it could mean for older people’s care. www.bgs.org.uk/neighbourhoods

Have you had the opportunity to see our Core20PLUS5 framework? This framework is based on similar ones from NHS England. It aims to help identify older people who have unequal access to and experience of healthcare, and to target action to counter that inequality. Click to view: buff.ly/TiIT0lU

It was our best #WDAD2025 in Greater Manchester yet. 100 delegates. 30 on waiting list. New learning and connections. International visitors. Lived experience of delirium. I gained so much. Going all in for delirium (thanks @amaclullich.bsky.social). We have come so far, more to do.

People with experience themselves or loved one with delirium

At our event in GM only a couple of colleagues from memory clinics. Information on delirium should helpfully be part of post diagnostic support for people with dementia.

#Delirium is very common in people who are the end of life. Yet it is still underdiagnosed, and unfortunately this often means unnecessary distress for patients and their families. Guidance for professionals: www.mariecurie.org.uk/professional... #WDAD2025

Delirium in palliative care | Information for professionals

Delirium is confusion that comes on suddenly. It’s a serious and common condition in palliative care, especially towards the end of life.

We have taken over 1,300 people through our Polypharmacy Action Learning Sets. Through this work, we recognised the need to support NHS organisations to develop systems and services to address problematic polypharmacy and overprescribing. We hope this helps. 😊 @stevechemist.bsky.social 👏👏

40% of ED attendances are over 65yrs. Average wait for admission in>75yrs =12 hours. 10% attendances from care homes. Waiting is especially bad for older -risk of delirium, deconditioning, acute kidney injury/LOS. But much could be done to avoid these probs @gerisoc.bsky.social @rcem.bsky.social

Important to make sure older surgical patients are aware of the risk of cognitive decline prior to surgery. Shared decision making is vital

We had a COBALT Trial investigators’ meeting this morning, too. At that phase in the trial where every single participant recruited is important for our ability to answer the question whether adding memantine to a cholinesterase inhibitor has value in DLB and PDD.
