Great to have stayed on in Nottingham for the @gerisoc.bsky.social #G4J #bgsconf. Fab to see so many people here and great talks. Really enjoying this one on polypharmacy from @henriatric.bsky.social (who also has a great bluesky handle).

On way back from #bgsconf in Nottingham and driving conditions so treacherous I had to bail at Leicester East Days Inn. Scary stuff.
Luxury for £35 a night. But better than being in a life changing accident..

Good morning everyone.
I’m at the #BGSconf this morning talking about delirium.
Caught @cswarbrick1’s excellent talk on the impact of delirium and the results of Snap3.
Delirium increases length of stay, mortality and all complications.

Very powerful speech from Dr Jennifer Burns about being BGS president during COVID and the lesson learned.
Especially appreciated her answer at the end calling for the need to improve how we train the doctors of the future and reduce the rigidity of current training.

Helpful update from Dr Glynis Magee providing an update on managing diabetes in the frailer patient.
Useful guidance on target HBA1C and prescribing recommendations- including Target HBA1C of up to 79 in severely frail patient.
Main emphasis is on individualised plan for patients

Which raises the interesting discussion between geriatric medicine Vs care of the elderly.
I personally prefer the former as emphasises it as a medical specialty skillset.
While care of elderly does sound a tad patronising.
Plus CoE just makes me ready to debate transubstantiation.

As part of the discussion of Ageism, depressing statistics but also interesting points from Adam Stachura of Age Scotland.
Question of the use of elderly for our patients and carrying negative implications.

Mainly want to catch on the dementia update from yesterday.
Especially the question of geriatricians being involved in the diagnosis of dementia in hopsital.
Feels like a missed opportunity to send patients to memory clinics in certain cases. (Although understand logic of it!)

Catching up on things I missed such as the Presidents address- including revaluation that BGS is biggest medical specialty association in the UK!

presents advance care planning challenges in the words of patients.
Key takeaways:
FAMILY- most older people know what they want but don’t tell their family
START with living well now and work the conversation backwards.
