Super excited our cauda equina review is finally published: PR exam of anal tone is potentially harmful due its low sensitivity/high risk of false reassurance and is no longer recommended in ANY clinical setting. #CES #stopPR #APPN #BASS #SBNS #RCEM authors.elsevier.com/a/1eb7u…

My latest mission is to improve pelvic health within our elderly population on W12. Incontinence in the elderly is not normal, and we need to address it to improve QOL, falls, skin integrity etc. - not to mention the ££ spent on pads in the NHS @GeriSoc @AGILECSP @Age_and_Ageing

Preventing mental deconditioning is just as important as physical, it only took me 30 minutes to hand these out and spend a few minutes chatting with all 38 patients. Unsuprisingly ice cream flavours was the most popular today! @GamesEoE
