@NAgeingRI's Senior Policy Fellow talking on managing falls/behaviours of concern in hospitals. Sadly restraint still happening to manage agitation and aggression. Need tailored strategies and whole systems approaches. VFPA falls workshop @MonashPartners @WAAHSC @MACHAustralia
Great presentations also by @SaferCareVic @MegPhysio @MicheleCallisa1 Terry Haines Sandy Iuliano Mel Haley

Media, please stop using the term ‘silver tsunami’. It’s condescending and kinda ageist. Using the term conjures a discriminatory stereotype. It’s harmful.
A reminder: ageism is discrimination we commit against our future selves.
Well-deserved recognition for @NAgeingRI researcher @PazitLevinger
Congratulations @PazitLevinger - a wonderful researcher & @RAILMonash adjunct - who has won the 2023 @SPAHCMonash adjunct research award for her excellent work on senior exercise parks. Pazit's award was accepted by her long-standing collaborator, RAIL Director @Keith_Hill_RAIL

This Thursday we are hosting our annual Conversations on Ageing. Our director, @BrionyDow will be joined by journalist @GeraldineDoogue and CEO of @COTAAustralia, Patricia Sparrow (@agedsupporter) to discuss ageism and human rights for older adults.
Looking forward to sharing insights on healthy ageing and how we need to consider more than individual behaviour change
#FallsForum23
Don't miss out on a great opportunity to hear from A/Prof @fbatchy on how policy-level changes, environmental changes and community-based initiatives can be used to support #healthyageing and #preventfalls.

Home-based care for older people should include clinical and personal care and be accessible for those who are frailer. Australia also has a long way to go. Thx for the opportunity to contribute to this editorial Philip Sloane @Dreleazer Steve Phillips

This is a story about a policy issue that’s not exactly high-profile or glamorous, but that helps explain why we’re going to struggle to get a better aged-care system for a long time. Learn more: themandarin.com.au/199891-ph… #choosephysio @crikey_news

One of the key things older people want is to be heard. In a new report “What Do Older People Want from their Healthcare?” @NAgeingRI asked older Victorians what they want to improve their health and wellbeing, and how their priorities change. Read: bit.ly/3PRPCYr
