Every #PrimaryCareNetwork should have #olderpeople’s champion who specialises in:
👉🏻 #PopulationHealthManagement #PHM
👉🏻 #Frailty
👉🏻 #Dementia
👉🏻 #Delrium
👉🏻 #Carehome medicine

Useful if they are also the PCN #CaldicottGuardian & #InformationGovernance Lead

Something for next year’s #PCN contract? 🤔
Every hospital should have a delirium champion. We have stroke and sepsis champions - why not #delirium?

🚨**CALLING ALL LEARNED COLLEAGUES** 🚨

Blue Sky hive mind qu:

Does anyone know if their ICB has a #Frailty & #Dementia Friendly formulary for #PrimaryCare teams to use?

If so, would you recommend it? I'm keen to explore tools that can support tailored, patient-centered care for these populations.
