    This. Taken directly from a letter from a family member about her sister (with delirium) in hospital. Her sister had been in 7 different wards - not because of diagnostic/clinical need BTW. Heartbreaking. Let’s think about the person, not the bed.

    Conjouring a cunning plan to keep a patient at home (rather than admitting them) can take hours and hours and hours, and multiple phone calls, voicemail messages, and waiting for calls back. Hence, I present The Second Law of Admission Avoidance from ....HT !

    This is certainly the best tweet I've ever read and I'm willing to fight anyone who says otherwise.

    Love this! What a difference it would make if people came into hospital dressed and with their own walking aid!

    What can do to help ? #1 If clinically safe, encourage your patient to get dressed before leaving home and take mobilty aides with them if possible.
