How cute are these? 😍
It may be Valentine's but tbh every day is a chance to tell the important people in your life how much you love them 💖

I've never really thought about how often you swallow your own saliva (every 90s apparently) - build up is primarily due to posture changes in Parkinson's. Of course now it's all I'll think about for the rest of the presentation 😂 #bgsconf #gerisky

Love how #bgsconf continues to have such a varied program. I always try to go to the sessions that challenge what I think I know - they're often the ones that totally blow my mind 🤯 This is a good example... #gerisky

Excellent presentation on #dementia and its correlation to social deprivation and ethnicity. Def one to watch back later to fully absorb the evidence but more importantly what to do about it 🤔 #bgsconf

Our now traditional #bgsconf selfie in front of a Xmas tree. Although it's hard to tell, there are in fact 2 trees in this one 🎄🎄❄️☃️🧑🏻‍🎄✨ @geribaby.bsky.social #gerisky

And this is why #workforce planning is so important! We have a total mismatch between where older people are and where our workforce to support them is #bgsconf #gerisky

Not just General Practice & Community services - it's the whole of Primary Care. Well said @dochayter.bsky.social This is exactly what's needed! And a workforce that focuses on general skills to tackle multimorbidity & prevention, not just speciality driven #BGSConf #choosegeriatrics #gerisky

Brilliant to have colleagues from RCGP at #BGSConf speaking about care closer to home - bit of policy but importantly the relationship between both professional groups to support and advocate for older people #choosegeriatrics #gerisky @dochayter.bsky.social @gerisoc.bsky.social

I have the conversation a lot in my day job! Trying to invest in prevention (ideally in community) while responding to crisis (and subsequent government targets/metrics) #bgsconf #gerisky #choosegeriatrics #frustrating

And we're underway 🎉 #bgsconf #gerisky

Come join us at #bgsconf tomorrow for this interactive and important workshop on moral injury. We want to hear people's experience and what we in @gerisoc.bsky.social can do to support #gerisky
