"Proactive care is key to delaying frailty, maintaining independence, and reducing avoidable ill health. We need a more equitable approach to care across the UK." ~ @JKDhesi, BGS President Elect

"#FallsPrevention is often associated with risk-averse attitude whereby people are discouraged from mobilising so they do not fall, consequently becoming deconditioned, increasing fall risk"

The role of District Nurses is vital, increasingly complex and requires considerable skill. Without adequate DNs the nursing care of our older patients especially and palliative care in the home setting will fail.
@TheQNI
A national shortage of district nurses has been highlighted by a coroner in a warning to @VictoriaAtkins after a man's death.
The number of district nurses has more than halved since 2010 and repeatedly highlighted by @TheQNI as a safety risk:

#Rehabilitation should be a component of virtually all care for older people. There is no such thing as ‘no rehabilitation potential.’

One of the things we often get wrong in health & care improvement is prioritising performance improvement (process-technical aspects) over the emotional experience of participants. We need to make consideration of emotional factors one of our highest priorities in change initiatives. This includes:
1) how we make connections with values, through emotions, to engage people in change &
2) appreciating emotions & related cognitions & behaviours surrounding events during change.

Word of the day is ‘mumpsimuses’ (16th century): those who insist they are right and apportion blame to others without looking at themselves.

Rehabilitation must not be a forgotten art. It is the difference between living functionally and independently and just living. Please therapy colleagues let’s bang this drum 🥁!
Older people with rehabilitation goals should not be transferred to a #carehome without assurance of appropriate #rehabilitation. The principles of effective rehabilitation for older people are outlined by the Community Rehabilitation Alliance. @thecsp bgs.org.uk/policy-and-media/…

Insight into district and community nursing 💙
Sky News investigates the crisis in homes across the country as we follow a district nurse on her night shift.
The number of community nurses fell by 14% before the pandemic hit.

This thread has some interesting debate on scheduling tools for #CommunityNursing. Interested to hear views of nurses using these tools - how are you finding them? @WeDistrictNurse
