#GeriatricEmergencyMedicine Results from @UHSFT Post @NICEComms on #headinjury. Low rate of bleeding, bleeding associated with high risk injury +/- clinical signs, time to stop scanning? Can we therefore keep people at home? @GeriSoc @RCollEM @EuGMSSociety #EuGMS2023 #EuGMS

Opportunistic sarcopenia scoring on trauma CT can help with a multi-dimensional frailty assessment. With the development of robust AI tech this could prove a quick, helpful tool that has potential to augment prognostication and aid early decision making. link.springer.com/content/pd…

Great work from the team, well done @DrKindaIbrahim
Shocking customer service by @BensonsForBeds, sent us 2 broken beds, hours spent on the phone trying to get through to customer service line. My daughter still sleeping on a mattress on the floor after weeks. Disgraceful
