Bravo! @hmkyale explains that our choice is between ‘a system that has finally integrated the science of aging into cardiovascular care or one that continues to treat our most common patients as exceptional cases. Our science must finally and fully reflect the people we serve’.

Core20PLUS5 Framework: Reducing healthcare inequalities among older people.
This new framework from BGS aims to help identify people who have unequal access to and experience of healthcare, and to target action to counter that inequality. buff.ly/tZFrTG9

We need to come together to deliver better joined up care & neighbourhood health. Every system needs a frailty strategy. Identification & CGA at scale. Frailty Workforce & education. Check out @GeriSoc resources for age attuned integrated care, join the dots blueprint & much more
The BGS is pleased that @NAOorguk has produced a report on primary and community healthcare for people living with frailty, and we welcomed the opportunity to contribute to the process.
Sadly, the report makes for disheartening reading. bit.ly/48A636R

BGS President @JKDhesi has responded to this article from @mancunianmedic, reiterating the need to support expert generalists and highlighting the need for all clinicians to have the skills to care for older people. You can read her response here: bmj.com/content/391/bmj.r246…
The case for a greater focus on medical “expert generalists” in the NHS has been in the health policy news recently.
But expert generalists already very much exist in our system. They just need to be supported, says @mancunianmedic
