#Frailty is potentially reversible, especially in its earlier stages, and can be managed well by comprehensive assessment and tailored interventions, #rehabilitation, care and support. #RighttoRehab Read our #BGSBlueprint here

In this blueprintĀ we set out system touchpoints and actions for high-quality integrated care for older people.Ā
2.4 billion people worldwide have health conditions that could benefit from rehabilitation. Prioritising #rehabilitation and growing the workforce is necessary to meet increasing global demand, say @sivanmanoj and @ProfNegrini

"Older people have so much to offer. If society were to address old age in a more positive light, as opposed to thinking of older people as a universal burden, the benefit to us all would be enormous." Read the BGS Blog by Dr Tom Heritage.

At Cambridge, I research the historical older populations of England and Wales, using the 1851-1911 census, and behind every entry on that census is an older person with a story to tell.

We urge the Government to allocate funding to allow systems to roll out #ProactiveCare. Effective implementation of proactive care will save the NHS money in the long term as it will help older people to remain well without needing costly hospital care. https://t.co/5rIyjEI3Ys

#Frailty affects 1 in 10 over 65 y/o & up to half of 85+ y/o. These groups are most likely to benefit from #ProactiveCare. Many with frailty also live with other long-term conditions. Focus on providing holistic assessment in this guidance is very welcome. https://t.co/5rIyjEI3Ys
