The longer someone stays in hospital The higher the risk of hospital acquired harm Getting patients home is not just about "freeing beds" it's about giving them support in the right place and keeping them well. Keeping them in hospital longer than necessary adds to risks of harm

Systematic review highlights >50% older adults who fall have vestibular impairment. Remember these present differently in older people (I.e. unsteadiness and falls, absence of vertigo). #FallsAwarenessWeek researchgate.net/publication/36…

I am always in awe of the wisdom older people have. When I asked a lady what she thought of a teams decision to delay her discharge due to “some risks identified” she said: “You youngsters never learn…….Life is dangerous”.

AMUs are designed to have patients there for a short period. Front-loaded with staff, so patients get intensive multiprofessional input for the first 24-48h of their admission. Those who are unwell get early senior input. Those who are medically fit leave quicker.

Older people with acute illness decondition rapidly so need rehabilitation to start as soon as possible – healthcare professionals should not wait for a crisis to pass before providing rehabilitation at home, hospital, or care home. bgs.org.uk/rehab #BGSRehab #RightoRehab
