Our new @Age_and_Ageing paper shows how ABPM biomarkers predict future falls in older people: - x4 increase in falls if dips in sBP below 100 - 3% falls reduction for every 1 mmHg increase in lowest sBP value - Higher morning surge --> more falls https://t.co/Jy3pwtkuhy

We're delighted to welcome the Irish SpRs in Geriatric Medicine for a day of education & training in clinical updates & new service models for which #MISA is recognised 🏥 #education

A fantastic @RCPI_news SpR education day for geriatric medicine trainees covering the whole spectrum of falls, syncope and vestibular assessment with practical sessions and great talks from @RoseAnnekenny1 @rob__briggs @amandahlavan @conalcunningham to name a few! #fasu #thanks

Flying the flag for #fasu @stjamesdublin and @TCDGerontology too!!
