      The nature of the rapidly ageing UK population means the NHS cannot simply wait for new #geriatricians to be trained. Our report advocates for practical solutions to be developed to support & empower the current workforce to care for the older population. https://t.co/0WRU6Wdfw9

      It takes an average of 16 years from entry to medical school to train a consultant #geriatrician, meaning that even a substantial increase in the number of medical training places will take many years to make an impact on the staffing shortfall. https://t.co/0WRU6Wdfw9

      There is an overall shortfall of staff. More than two thirds (68%) of #geriatricmedicine consultants’ report locum staffing vacancies within their Trust. Nearly half said that they had unsuccessfully tried to recruit a consultant in the last two years. https://t.co/0WRU6Wdfw9

      Data via @RCPhysicians shows that consultants and trainees in #geriatricmedicine are more likely to work less than full time than other specialties and undertake a larger share of general medicine roles in hospital than other specialties. https://t.co/0WRU6Wdfw9
