And these are the factors that Seacroft consider in their assessments

And we really need to know what third sector support is there and build relationships with them….
November 20, 2024 at 3:01 PM
The importance of seeing people in their own home, not in a clinic
November 20, 2024 at 2:55 PM
Now the Seacroft team - currently talking about statifying the population, clinically correlating the identified people, then having different people doing their own specialist parts of the CGA

A great question - why are so few geriatricians in community geriatrics? Places/posts need creating but I think we need to train more. I was supposed to go into community once upon a time cut events overtook me …. I may revisit that one day

The Hull Model of Proactive Care - frailty based, not aged based (I approve!)
November 20, 2024 at 2:13 PM
The need to move funding from reactive to proactive service
November 20, 2024 at 12:54 PM
And now why and how to set up a proactive service for people with therapy!
November 20, 2024 at 12:50 PM
Agree it is a major issue!
November 20, 2024 at 12:35 PM
Great results
