On way to the @RCPhysicians Spine in Liverpool and getting excited 🙌 Proud to say @RoyalSurrey Frailty team are finalists in two categories for the #EPCA2025 awards 👇

Terrific inspiring words from my lovely wonderful colleague Vanitha Regunathan. Explaining exactly why we’re developing our tier 3 workforce to meet the needs of our population through our frailty academy @RoyalSurrey @GeriSoc #ChooseGeriatrics

All things CGA in one place 👇 love it ! 👏👏❤️

Our newly appointed Frailty Lead, @jaa_adams, writes the latest BGS blog about his career so far, what the role entails and his motivations. Read the blog ⬇️ buff.ly/Abswz4D

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

The incredible Fauja Singh has been used in Frailty Academy teaching for many years. A testament to healthy ageing and the power of exercise. And the socialisation he had in later life through community and celebrity. Sad to see he did not die of natural causes. Phenomenal life!

👀 Funds for evidence based models of care for older people with frailty, including front door frailty teams and H@H across Scotland 👏👏 We will not achieve a shift from hospital to community without a focus on well resourced MDTs able to deliver CGA @GeriSoc

A systematic evaluation confirming that multimodal interventions, especially multicomponent exercise programs are most effective at reducing frailty, compared with single component approaches. #Frailty #Geriatrics

Our Frailty Hub brings together articles, national guidelines, and best practice relevant to frailty. It's a great place to go for everything from an introduction to frailty to implementing a frailty service. buff.ly/AYwlJmV

The BGS Quality Improvement Hub is a fantastic resource to help healthcare professionals navigate QI methodology and to plan and deliver their own projects to drive improvements in the quality of care for older people. buff.ly/ymrFmHm

A good year 👏 👏and we won’t stop advocating for high quality evidence based interventions for older people and a workforce that can meet their needs @GeriSoc

Integrated care for older people @RoyalSurrey 👇

If you’re a health or care professional (or even non professional) looking after older people then you’ve found your tribe @GeriSoc … loads of resources, best practice guidance, education, events. Come and join one of the biggest MDTs in the world 👇and help shape the future

When they said ten year plan I didn’t realise that was the lead in time ! We await with bated breath. I just hope appropriately planned funds to drive the three shifts and that this is based on evidence based interventions for older people #ChooseGeriatrics @GeriSoc
