Don’t miss the absolutely incredible @EmmaTenison at the next poster session (functional ability in #Parkinsons) who has completed virtually 3 PhDs worth of work in one PhD, amidst a pandemic! @AMRG_Bristol @PdPrime

Seizures in palliative care: A thread
Occur in around 10% of palliative care patients.
Either due to pre-existing conditions e.g. Epilepsy, stroke or newly evolving conditions.

Please, please let there have been a geriatrician on that team. A pragmatic, kind hearted and warm, most excellent physician.

What an acolade for @BristolUni and @MedicalBristol 🤗👏🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks too to @DunhillMedical who make evaluation of this new approach possible.
SO PROUD that CMOP @BristolUni @MedicalBristol was one of ONLY 2 curricula covering >80% of geriatric learning objectives identified by @EuGMSSociety #EUGMS2021 @TashMasud
Smashed it @DrEmHenderson and @drpoco 🌟💖

Worked with a geriatrician this week on AMU. Just in awe. The knowledge, the patient care, teaching… an amazing experience just doing a ward round. Views shared by everyone who’s ever met them. Made me want to stay back after nights! What I want to be like one day and more.

justgiving.com/fundraising/n…. We are jumping from a plane! To raise money for our patients with Dementia and Parkinsons. If you can spare a few pounds, it would make such a difference. @ParkinsonsUK @DementiaUK @ForeverFriendsA @RUHStaff @DrEmHenderson @FackrellRobin @RUHBath

Numbers are steadily increasing in @chiefpd2 remaining on a great trajectory thanks to all our super site teams. So grateful for every person with Parkinson’s, clinician, research nurse and support team who make this important trial possible.

A great quote from one of the BEST geriatricians of our time @lucypgeridoc.
Gait speed is intrinsically linked to cognition and mortality.
@chiefpd2 will determine whether ⬆️ cognition ⬇️ falls.
@CharSquires wonderful book club promises to be stellar.
How can we we stay healthy into our later years? Exercise and activity is certainly part of it according to a large study of walking speeds and mortality over time
Join us for our next #GeriBookClub on July 13th at 8pm, discussing Lucy Pollock’s ‘Book about getting older’

Older people with multiple conditions are never tedious. Mastery of the complexities of the medicine is an art. Research in the field meets an urgent and unmet need. It is a vocation and a privilege. #geriatrics

To kick off #worldparkinsonsday here's a thread on some of the most common questions we're asked for inpatient #Parkinson's referrals.

I know it’s absolutely none of my business but I think lots of us are hoping #PrincePhilip gets to make a careful kind plan that reflects his hopes and wishes. Maybe even see a geriatrician? ❤️🐘❤️

100k lives.
Sending the ‘presence of still water’ to those most profoundly affected. Know that there’s an army of NHS people (also now featuring the actual army) who remain undeterred in efforts to vaccinate, ameliorate, reoxygenate and recuperate those affected.

So what now will be the reason for my neurological colleagues not offering apomorphine pumps as the treatment of first choice for refractory motor fluctuations before either enteral dopa and DBS? imagine if this were a treatment for HIV and was ignored? – at Tottenham, London
New report from @ajlees & colleagues shares the results of the open-label phase of the TOLEDO study: Long-term safety & efficacy of apomorphine infusion in individuals with #Parkinsons suffering persistent motor fluctuations
