Do you know which drugs to stop first in orthostatic hypotension? You might be surprised! The best drug is losartan, says @laramitchdr — and give it at night #BGSconf

I’ve been thinking about the future of aged care. Aged care planning currently assumes that future demand for residential care will decline with people preferring care at home. Yet people are increasingly moving into old age with insecure & unaffordable housing. Or homeless
Look what’s happening to home ownership in Australia. Today’s older people bought homes earlier & at much higher rates than today’s younger people. Less than half of people now in their 20s & 30s own a home. Our housing crisis has been building for decades
