Continence is often overlooked by health care professionals, and equally the most important thing for our patients. I was happy to help develop this important resource.
Our latest elearning course, Continence in Older People, is now available. What's more, this course is free to BGS members! The course covers the impact continence has on the older population, the symptoms, causes, and treatment options. https://t.co/ln7MBCO4Ro

A great opportunity to apply for full funding for PhD research into ageing and healthcare for older people!
The Joint BGS / Vivensa Foundation Doctoral Training Fellowship is open for applications. This is a great opportunity for front-line healthcare professionals working with older people, including allied health professionals, doctors and nurses.

Amen to this
Older person confused. Urine dipped. 'Positive'. Antibiotics. Feeling of "job done." Except: delirium missed, true causes not found, patient discharged still confused. 🫥🫥🫥 ➡️ New confusion = delirium. Same attention needed as chest pain or acute kidney injury. 👍👍👍

🧠 #Delirium is one of the strongest prognostic indicators we have. That alone means that effective delirium detection processes at the front door/ED = an obligation. https://t.co/w0Ne0WppUa
