Well done on your excellent paper @merrimanniamh.bsky.social @rosespenfold.bsky.social et al! (My next @bmj.com opinion about dementia includes hip fracture- the diagnosis with the biggest use of NHS beds. Just to give context about the huge importance of your delirium/ cognitive impairment study)

While most identified HFRs recommended delirium and/or cognitive assessment, there was considerable variation in methods of assessment and documentation.

Greater standardisation in data items and their collection could improve international comparability and patient care.

Why is Physio not offered routinely on the NHS postpartum?
- state funded in France and other European countries
-essential for recovery, return to activity and mental health
- my partner was offered NHS Physio for a conservatively managed scapula fracture that he acquired mountain biking...

⁉️ Think it's impossible to achieve high rates of DELIRIUM screening?

Think again:

⭐️ 91% completion of 4AT

⭐️ hip fracture patients

⭐️ whole of Scotland data

⭐️ N=18,040

(1/2) Published today: our study in >18000 hip fracture patients using national clinical registry data: boneandjoint.org.uk/Article/10.130…
- Delirium is prevalent, affecting 21% of hip fracture patients at time of presentation
-associated with higher mortality, less likely to return home again

Why do most #dementia charities show such little awareness of #delirium?

It's something that needs to change.

See attached for an open letter to CEOs of dementia charities.

At our event in GM only a couple of colleagues from memory clinics. Information on delirium should helpfully be part of post diagnostic support for people with dementia.

For the first time in the UK, registered women doctors now outnumber men. But...there still remains an imbalance in senior clinical, leadership and academic positions. Great progress but work to be done! @medicalwomenuk.bsky.social @womenspeakershc.bsky.social
