We already know that feeding tubes don't help patietns with advanced dementia. This study shows higher mortality and readmission rates in patients who had feeding tubes. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

@JedJerwood speaking today at the @ResusCouncilUK conference for ReSPECT about @NoBarriersHere
What an inspiring talk today @JedJerwood at the @ResusCouncilUK conference for ReSPECT @Cambridge_Uni. A powerful message in ways we can think differently and be more inclusive for all. This quote says it all...

As Lord Darzi rightly concludes in his report, staff are the beating heart of the NHS, with a shared passion and determination for making the NHS better for patients - but he is also clear they are facing unprecedented challenges.

Excited for another day of incredible speakers and interacting with you on this platform. @LyndamHolt

Environment is a key component in my dysphagia assessments and my recommendations will always have an environmental element to minimise risk and maximise intake and wellbeing 🍝🍜🍛 #slt #withsltyoucan @AhpDementia
Mealtime environments matter. Seating, lighting, background noise, cooking smells, food presentation & what’s happening around the meal all contribute to our experience. Let’s look around to maximise the experience. #WithSLTuCan

An NHS fit for the future means an NHS fit for the increasing number of people living with frailty, multimorbidity and/or dementia. It is vital that the next government recognises the realities of an ageing population. Find out more here bgs.org.uk/GE2024 #NHSConfedExpo

CPR is not a treatment for #ordinarydying. Every instance of futile CPR - which is what will happen if nobody has sorted out the protection of a DNACPR for someone whose life is coming to an end - is a tragedy. Please, doctors, nurses, patients, families - #havetheconversation.
