Mrs Smith, 78, hip fracture patient, described as "confused & aggressive"
Ward round note: "?UTI. Start antibiotics." No mention of "delirium"
My reaction: What about her distress - untreated pain? Dehydration? Medication review? Telling the family the diagnosis? Etc.
Why we need Delirium 8 👇
Great work, Vikas!
Great piece!👌🏽
⚠️The clinical academic pipeline is at risk - why are fewer med students intercalating❔
💸 Cost-of-living crisis deters many
📉 Removal of application points cuts motivation

It's election time again for @rcphysicians.bsky.social!
I am running for Vice President of Education and Training.
Major changes are coming in U/PGME, including the Medical Training Review. Vital that the argument is made for doctors and doctoring.

You're going to see me posting a lot about Radiopaedia 2026 over the next few months!
We've just opened abstract submission for rPosters.
The deadline is 22nd March - all the details are in the post below.
Good luck!
Let's look at delirium and dementia:
Episodes of delirium: more rapid progression of dementia.
Delirium survivors: x3-fold higher risk of future dementia.
➡️ We really need the support of dementia charities in helping improve delirium care.
#delirium #dementia #medtwitter
#Delirium treatment is much more complex: treat the cause(s) - usually more than 1, optimise physiology (e.g. hydrate), detect & treat distress, prevent complications (e.g. falls, pressure sores, aspiration), communicate with family, rehabilitate, etc.

What's the future for Undergraduate Medical Education in England?
@martinmckee.bsky.social and I look at what's in the 10 Year Plan and the implications.
We think there is significant risk of the proposals devaluing degrees and the Profession.

Excellent piece 👌🏼
Great paper, Andrew. Would have been nice to see more of "shared-decision making" incorporated into the background to management reasoning, but glad it came through in the focus group quotes 😀👍
