Great to see this important research published, with expectations for positive practical application for clinicians doi.org/10.1093/ageing…
When the BGS's journal Age and Ageing published the Electronic Frailty Index (eFI) in 2016, it was very influential and is used across the NHS to identify frailty within a population. This has now been made even better with the new and improved eFI2! buff.ly/p0j55fi

Happy #ChooseGeriatrics week to all those celebrating! 🎉 Looking forward to hearing lots of stories about why our wonderful @GeriSoc members chose geriatrics.
It's #ChooseGeriatrics week! All week, we'll be sharing blogs and videos from our members explaining why they #ChooseGeriatrics. It’s great to hear such inspiring stories, and hopefully, they will encourage more people to follow in their footsteps when choosing their specialty.
#ChooseGeriatrics recently featured at an event @CUmedicengage. Students got to hear from consultant geriatricians about geriatric medicine as a career, with opportunities to ask questions and learn about BGS student membership. BGS merchandise also proved popular!
Knowing your science inside-out isn't enough. There is so much complex data to present in a paper. You have to communicate with impact somehow. You have to make your paper easy to digest. "But my results speak for themselves!" Great! But... 90% of reviewers initially scan…
A pleasure to write for the #ChooseGeriatrics campaign! 👌🏽 Talking about a career shaped by Older Persons Healthcare - obviously mentioning where it all started as a cadet for St John Ambulance Cymru @HywelDdaHB @SJACymru @lisagos @SharonDan111 @CEOStJAC
"I soon realised that every older person had their own story and that realisation went on to form my career." BGS member and Urgent Care Clinical Practitioner, Sam Davies, shares his journey into the specialty on our blog for #ChooseGeriatrics week. buff.ly/sNDlNnc
