  • Summary

  • This week, Dr Kat Ralston takes a fresh look at the geriatric giants with Dr Clare Bostock. They explore frailty syndromes using the “5M’s” approach (matters most, mind, mobility, medications, and multi-complexity) and discuss the importance of a detective mindset to make the diagnosis. They share practical tips on the assessment and management of patients with frailty at the front door. Clare Bostock is a consultant geriatrician at NHS Grampian. Her areas of special interest include acute assessment, polypharmacy, falls, and quality improvement. She works in the geriatric assessment unit at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. The geriatric medicine team at ARI started daily reviews of older people with frailty in the Acute Medical Admissions area in July 2022. She spent nearly 3 years working in the hospital at home team alongside acute work at ARI, and now works in ARI and at an intermediate care facility at Rosewell House. Dr Kat Ralston is a Geriatric Medicine Registrar and member of the RCPE Trainees and Members’ Committee, currently working in Edinburgh. --Useful Links-- Managing multiple medicines- https://rightdecisions.scot.nhs.uk/polypharmacy-guidance/ British Geriatrics Society Frailty module - https://www.bgs.org.uk/elearning/2023-frailty-identification-and-interventions Clinical Frailty Scale - https://www.bgs.org.uk/sites/default/files/content/attachment/2018-07-05/rockwood_cfs.pdf Think Delirium Toolkit-https://learn.nes.nhs.scot/2442/rrheal/education-networks/rural-teams-education-network/think-delirium-improving-the-care-for-older-people-delirium-toolkit The Geriatric 5M’s - https://agsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jgs.14979 Silver Book II – Geriatric Syndromes (British Geriatrics Society) - https://www.bgs.org.uk/resources/silver-book-ii-geriatric-syndromes ACB Calculator - https://www.acbcalc.com/ Managing Multiple Medicines: Anticholinergics Recommendations - https://rightdecisions.scot.nhs.uk/polypharmacy-guidance/hot-topics/anticholinergics/ Top Tips for Clinical Frailty Scale - https://www.dal.ca/sites/gmr/our-tools/clinical-frailty-scale/cfs-guidance.html -- Follow us -- https://www.instagram.com/rcpedintrainees https://twitter.com/RCPEdinTrainees -- Upcoming RCPE Events -- https://events.rcpe.ac.uk/ Feedback: cme@rcpe.ac.uk
