10 key messages on health of #olderpeople (although the thread may have gone a bit wrong…) @adamgordon1978.bsky.social @jkdhesi.bsky.social

Key message 8. #OlderPeople want to maintain independent lives in their own home - the best way to support this is called Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) - proactive #Integratecare involving health, social care, housing etc

Key message 7. We need more specialists in care of #olderpeople. Nearly 2000 more geriatricians are needed by 2030 for recommended level of care, 1 for every 500 people aged 85 & older @gerisoc.bsky.social

Key message 6. As noted in 2) #olderpeople are largest group of healthcare users - this includes specialist hospital care such as cancer (oncology). Over a third of new cancer diagnoses are in people over 75 years. Therefore we need medical specialists to #AgeAttuned - see the whole person

Key message 2. #OlderPeople are the main users of health & social care - yet care is often complex & disjointed. People older than 74 consult with GP almost twice as much as people aged 45 - 64
