Fantastic to see the September issue of the @gerisoc.bsky.social magazine shining a spotlight on #research! It looks at #clinicaltrials for older people, mentions several aspects of our group’s work, and includes pieces co-authored by our very own @oldertrialsprof.bsky.social and Dr Claire McDonald

📣 Calling clinicians and academics with knowledge and experience of #resistancetraining as an intervention 📣

The #NIHR MLTC Cross NIHR-Collaboration are exploring interventions for people with #MLTC and need your help.

The survey should take around 7-10 minutes to complete - lnkd.in/giUXUp43

💪 Muscles matter! We've been raising awareness of #sarcopenia at the recent @nihrnewcastlebrc.bsky.social Celebration of Excellence: Community event, by giving delegates the opportunity to have their grip strength measured and see how it compared to published norms.

Big thanks to @annabasu1.bsky.social for her inspirational talk to the AGE Research Group and @nihrnewcastlebrc.bsky.social on the SPACE Pilot project, a collaboration with @waystowellness.org.uk. Many parallels in the challenges faced by children with medical complexity and older adults with #MLTC
