Frailty same day emergency care unit at tameside.. Wow! What a difference this unit makes to patient experience, hospital admissions and personalised care. Fantastic model that needs replicating and expanding 👍

Could not agree more-thing is the policies that I & @julianhartley1 helped craft in 2019 to help @NHSEngland keep afloat and older people safer until at least 2028 were completely trashed during the period 2020-now through national leadership disinterest and policy neglect-Doh 🤦♂️
