In this new series of the MDTea Podcast, we are exploring the theme of kindness: in ourselves, with each other and within our teams. While the focus of this series takes us in a slightly different direction, the aim and core of the podcast is the same - to support teams working and learning together for the benefit of older adults. In this first episode, or prologue if you will... We will explore why we think this is such an important topic to cover, not just at this point in time working in healthcare post-covid, but always. As ever, we'll be providing you with the evidence bases where they exist, and best practice wisdom where it doesn't. Alongside this we will explore the influence of breathing exercises on our nervous system, walk you through the components of an approach to everyday Quiet Leadership. So grab yourself, and anyone else around you, a cup of tea, settle in, and enjoy.https://thehearingaidpodcasts.org.uk/mdteam-kindness/

Great to have you join us for another new episode of the MDTea Podcast, which today is all about community nursing. Outside hospital in the UK there are thousands of nursing staff who use their clinical skills and knowledge to support patients with long-term conditions and help maximise their independence. Some of these will be district nurses and others will be nurse specialists in particular areas of medicine. This can include nurses specialising in diabetes, stroke, respiratory and cardiac care, tissue viability, mental health, palliative care and lots more. Two of the roles that we see quite commonly in older patients are Parkinson's nurses and dementia nurses. We speak to two fantastic guests today to help us learn about these roles. Clare Addison is a vastly experienced nurse who is now living with Parkinson's disease, and Chris O'Connor is an admiral nurse in Surrey who spends his time caring for patients and families affected by dementia. Lots of wise words to take on board from both of them. We've also got all our usual features, such as Paper of the Week, social media highlights and our One Minute Topic.

Welcome back to another episode of the MDTea Podcast, where this time we've taken the show on the road to St Wilfrid's Hospice in Eastbourne to learn all about community palliative care. For patients living with chronic illnesses and those approaching the end of their life, knowing that they have a team of caring, approachable healthcare professionals to coordinate their treatment can be life-changing.We have the privilege on today's episode of hearing from Eirian, Sophie, Rachael, Laura, Andy and Paul from St Wilfrid's Hospice. We were invited for a cup of tea with them down at their state-of-the-art inpatient facility on the south coast of England, and they explained to us about the inspiring work they do in catering for patients with life-limiting illnesses or those in the last phase of their lives. Please have a listen if you can, there's such a goldmine of useful tips and suggestions for all of us to apply to our day-to-day practice, whether that's in palliative care medicine or not.We've also got our regular features (Paper of the Week, MDTea Wordle) alongside our ever-exciting One Minute Topic game at the very end of the episode.

This episode we're talking about the community frailty hub model local to us. We know as worth previous teams that these set ups can have a whole host of names- proactive care team, anticipatory care hubs etc. You may not have access to services like this locally but it remains useful to see how everyone works together to support patients in the community.The MDTea podcast is endorsed by the a British Geriatic Society, log your listening using our CPD log avalible with all the show notes on our website. You can also find us on Twitter (@MDTea_Podcast), Facebook (search MDTea Podcast) and Instagram (@MDTeaPodcast).

Today we're talking about 2 hour response teams who work in the community supporting admission avoidance where possible. Typically they work with patients for short periods of time 24-72 hours where a person is at risk of an acute admission or readmission to hospital. Teams have a multitude of names, rapid response, crisis team, urgent community response and more so to keep things generic and applicable to you where ever you are we've used the phrase 2 hour response team. Do go and find out what services near you are called and how they work! As always check out our website for show notes and use our CPD log, follow us on Twitter @MDTea_podcast where we're post lots of extra content, Instagram @MDTeaPodcast for graphics and visual resources to use.

General practice is often the first port of call for people with healthcare needs in the community, and it's that world that we'll be exploring today. What do GP teams do? Who makes up the team? What are the challenges that they face? How has their working life changed since covid? And what ways can they help older people, like our patient Jean, to live well in the community? We're joined by Adam McClintock (a GP) and Alice Poots (a nurse who has worked both in general practice and emergency medicine). They'll be our expert voices to help us learn more about GP from the inside. We've got our Paper of the Week, MDTea Wordle, and our One Minute Topic too. All sorts of fun and games for you.

We're back! After months of preparation and planning, we've got an amazing new series of the MDTea Podcast for you to enjoy. After taking a journey in Series 11 where we met each member of the hospital MDT (along with our patient, Jean) we're ready to go again! And this time we'll be joining Jean as she is discharged back into the community, and meets lots of the teams involved with her community healthcare.On this first episode we're considering reablement and what exactly that means for patients like Jean, who are continuing their healthcare journey outside the hospital setting. We'll explore the concept of reablement, discuss the roles of people involved in this area, and find outhow reablement teams encourage patients to take the lead in regaining independence at home post-discharge.We have a few new features for this series too! We'll be discussing our Paper of the Week, doing our usual social media slot, and we're extremely excited to announce a couple of new games for this series! Stephen will be stepping up in this episode for our fast-paced and unpredictable One Minute Recap game, and we'll be giving you listeners a brutally tough Wordle MDTeaser to think through over the next few days (with prizes up for grabs)!Please let us know what you think of the new series, we'd love to hear your thoughts!

Hello again everyone! Two bits of exciting news to share with you… First of all, Series 12 of the MDTea Podcast is on the way! We've already recorded lots of interviews for it, and it's being pieced together as we speak. The first episode will be landing on Tuesday 26th July, just one week away! Over the course of Series 12, we're going to be taking a closer look at the different teams making up healthcare in the community. A huge number of important roles for us to explore. Make sure you don't miss it!And then, in other news, we've also been working on a brand new podcast series that will be coming your way in the near future. It will be aimed at medical registrars in training, it will be called Med Reg News, and we can't wait to let you hear it! Eight episodes have already been recorded, so there is a treasure trove of brilliant educational material that is lined up and ready to go. Each episode involves an in-depth conversation with a different consultant guest, and if you're a doctor in training we really hope you'll enjoy it and benefit from it in your day-to-day work. That'll be appearing soon, on a separate stream from the MDTea Podcast, so this is just a heads up. But keep your eyes peeled for it!As ever, please get in touch with us at thehearingaidpodcasts@gmail.com, on Twitter (@mdtea_podcast), on Instagram (@mdteapodcast) or on Facebook. You're the ones we make all these podcasts for, and we look forward to sharing them with you! See you soon!

It's time to meet the final member of the hospital team in Jean's journey. Today we're speaking to social workers about their role involved in hospital discharge as well as their safeguarding responsibilities.Don't forget to log your listening using our CPD log avalible on our website. http://thehearingaidpodcasts.org.uk/series11home/

It's time to meet the next members of the hospital MDT, and today it's the turn of our dietitians! Having a substantial, nutrient-rich diet is as important for older people as it is for anyone else, and malnutrition can be a real problem as people age. In this episode, we explore what malnutrition is, why it affects older people so much, and the approach dietitians take to try and boost the nutritional intake and general wellbeing of our patients.We speak to two vastly experienced dietitians, David and Lorna, and hear in particular about the work they do with the older patients that they see. From protein to Parkinson's, and from sandwiches to supplements, there's a treasure trove of useful information for us to take on board from these two. So come on in, and let's learn together!As always, please send us any thoughts or questions you have, either via email at thehearingaidpodcasts@gmail.com, on Facebook, on Twitter @mdtea_podcast or on Instagram @mdteapodcast. We love hearing from you. And don't forget the #MDTeaser for your chance to win a coveted MDTea mug! See you again in two weeks for Episode 10!

This week we meet the next people in Jean's MDT- the speech and language therapists. How much do you know about this teams work and breadth of work they can help with? Do you know how they might help ensure patients cognition-communication (cog-com) disorders be involved in their own care? Do you know how to make a drink with thickener or why straws might not be better for all people with swallowing problems? Do you want some top tips for enhancing your communication skills? Have a listen to learn all these points and more

Welcome along for another exciting episode of the MDTea Podcast! Today it's Episode 7 and we're spending some time thinking about the amazing work done with older patients by occupational therapists (OT's). OT's are problem solvers, and play a crucial role in enabling patients to carry out meaningful activities (or "occupations") and recover a degree of quality of life following illness. This can involve setting targets for patient goals such as using the shower, brushing their hair, making a cup of tea, managing their front door steps safely or even walking their dog, amongst many many other things. On today's episode, we hear from eight brilliant OT's - Paul, Katie, Oran, Alanna, Suzanne, Bex, Louise and Rebecca - who tell us all about what life is like for them on the job, and why they wouldn't want to do anything else. As well as that, we'll be diving back into Jean's story, and thinking how the OT team might help her out. We've also got our usual social media update and another infuriatingly tricky #MDTeaser! We always love to hear from you, so please get in touch on Facebook, on Twitter (@mdtea_podcast) or on Instagram (@mdteapodcast), and our website is at www.mdteapodcast.co.uk. See you all really soon!

This week we are chatting to the physiotherapists working throughout Jean's time at the hospital. We meet Amy and Joe who work at the front door assessing patients as they arrive, Grace who works in a dedicated hip fracture unit and Ailie who is a respiratory physio working on a surgical ward. Then we think about  our case patient Jean as she continues her journey following her fall and how the physios may work with her. Finally we present the next MDTeaser- don't forget to let us know what you link via Twitter, Facebook, our website or our new Instagram!

Welcome back to the MDTea Podcast! Today on Episode 5 we're looking into the exciting world of physician associates, and learning about the many ways they help the hospital team when it comes to looking after older patients. Physician associates first appeared in the UK in 2003, and have been growing in number since then. Nowadays, most hospitals have them working on the wards where they review patients, initiate treatments, formulate management plans, have discussions with patients and their families, perform practical procedures, take on leadership roles and lots more! We caught up with James, Hamed, Mira and Lindsay to hear all about their own experiences in the role, and to find out why they think it's such a brilliant job. One thing that's mentioned in the episode is James' own podcast, The Physician Associate Podcast. You can find him @PAPodcastUK on Twitter. If you're keen to find out more about the PA profession, it's well worth a listen!As usual, we'll be dipping into Jean's story and finding out where she's got to in her hospital journey. We'll also be chatting through what's leapt out at us on social media over the past few weeks and setting a new, cryptic #MDTeaser! There's an exclusive mug for the first person to answer it correctly, so make sure you get in early! You can find us on Facebook, Twitter (@mdtea_podcast) or Instagram (@mdteapodcast), and our website is www.mdteapodcast.co.uk. See you all soon!

This week we speak to our local hospital pharmacy team to find out how they help us manage patients like Jean. We discuss her medicines, thinking about what they're for and what problems might be associated with them. And how our pharmacy teams can help us and patients manage medications and patient care.Keep getting in touch on Twitter @mdtea_podcast, on Instagram @mdteapodcast or via email at thehearingaidpodcasts@gmail.com. Our website has every episode we've ever done, and can be found at www.mdteapodcast.co.uk. 

In this episode, we're delving into the daily lives of doctors. And we're about to discover how many different types of doctor can come into contact with an older patient in hospital. The ones we're going to meet in this episode include an A&E doctor, an orthopaedic surgeon and a group of elderly care medics. All with the same goal in mind…managing the acutely unwell patient, maximising their comfort, planning for the future, and getting them safely back into the community again where possible. But this can be tricky when frail patients present with a whole host of conditions. How do doctors manage these complex patients? Is there a way to treat someone as a whole person rather than getting different specialists involved for every individual body system? And what exactly is it that makes a good elderly care doctor?As the average age of our population increases, all doctors coming into the profession need to realise that a passion for elderly care is essential. After all, older patients will almost certainly make up the majority of their work, regardless of their specialty. And the guests on this episode want you to realise that this is something to be embraced, not frightened of.As ever, we'll have our MDTeaser and the latest highlights from the world of social media. Thanks for all your messages over the past few weeks, it's so encouraging to hear that lots of you have found this series helpful! Keep getting in touch on Twitter @mdtea_podcast, on Instagram @mdteapodcast or via email at thehearingaidpodcasts@gmail.com. Our website has every episode we've ever done, and can be found at www.mdteapodcast.co.uk. And we'll see you again for the next episode of Jean's journey through the hospital in 2 weeks!

This week we are talking to nurses to find out how they fit into our multidisciplinary team caring for older adults. We think we can all agree nurses have very much been the face of the NHS since its inception, and possibly more so over the past two years. But who are nurses and what do they feel their experience is like? What are the challenges in their job- and more importantly what do they like most about being nurses? We chat to fantastic nurses- Joe, Lucy, and Chris about each of their roles. What's certainly clear is the huge variety of jobs nurses can have and the diverse skill set they bring to our work caring for patients. As always let us know your thoughts and the answer to our MDTeaser via our twitter @MDTea_Podcast or via our facebook MDTea Podcast and go to our website where all episodes have show notes, links to content we've discussed and the CPD log so you can generate evidence of your listening for portfolios. 

We're taking a closer look at a day in the life of a paramedic in our first episode of Series 11. Maybe the picture that springs to mind when you hear the word ‘paramedic' is of an ambulance driving past you with its siren blaring. Or perhaps they might be people that you come across from time to time as they hand over unwell patients in the Emergency Department. But what do paramedics do? What does their typical day look like? How many older patients do they come into contact with? Are there any non-ambulance opportunities for them? And what exactly is it that they love about the job?Also, join us as we pick up Jean's story once again and think through how a paramedic might help her as she is assessed in a pre-hospital setting and begins her journey into the healthcare system. We have a new MDTeaser for you to tackle, as well as a shout-out for our favourite social media posts of the week. So lots for you to enjoy!It's brilliant to have you listening in, and if you'd like to find out more about what we do… you can find us on Twitter @mdtea_podcast, on Instagram @mdteapodcast, online at mdteapodcast.co.uk or you can send us a good old-fashioned email to thehearingaidpodcasts@gmail.com. Thanks for your company and we look forward to picking up Jean's story again with you in two weeks!

The MDTea podcast started out six years ago, with us wanting to create a place where we could foster multiprofessional learning around the care of older patients. And after 100 episodes that is still very much our aim. But we've decided to do something unique and exciting for Series 11 to explore what it really means to be part of the team.We want to spend time over the next ten episodes exploring what each of our colleagues in the MDT do on a daily basis to provide older patients with the best possible care. What is the first thing they do at work each day? What is their favourite thing about their job? What are the challenges and rewards? And how does their job help serve our older population? It's important we ask these questions. Because despite our best efforts to work as a fully integrated team on the wards, we all know that it is easy to become trapped in our own little bubbles. Both in the separate training we receive depending on our professions, and the areas on the wards where we tend to work only with other people doing the same role as us. And so the problem remains. Lots of us don't know what our colleagues in the MDT actually do. Which is why we're spending this new series looking at “A Day in the Life” of each of the vital healthcare professionals responsible for managing older patients coming into our hospitals.

Our 100th episode! This week we have a think about the (complex) topic of immigration law, the EU settlement scheme and the right to reside in the UK -  and how these rules and processes affect older adults uniquely, particularly with regards to access to health and social care.Show notes are available to view and download at www.thehearingaidpodcasts.org.uk for more detail and curriculum mapping against Foundation, CMT, IMT, GPVTS, Geriatric Registrar and NHS Knowledge Skills Framework (KSF) programmes.Presented by: Dr Iain Wilkinson and Dr Sophie NormanContributing Faculty: Jackie Lelkes
