Mini-GEMs (Geriatrics E-learning Modules) are short, focused video podcasts designed for rapid dissemination of knowledge on a very specific topic area of geriatric medicine.
Mini-GEMs are brought to you by the Association for Elderly Medicine Education (AEME). AEME is a non-profit organisation which promotes the continued professional development and education of healthcare professionals who care for older patients, with the aims of improving standards of care and promoting interest and uptake into the specialty of Geriatric Medicine.
We were formed in November 2012 by a small group of Geriatrics trainees from the North East of England with an interest in medical education, who are passionate about the specialty.
We're delighted that this resource has been selected as an exemplar resource for Health Education England's soon-to-be launched Technology Enhanced Learning Hub (hee.nhs.uk/work-programmes/tel/)

This is the best explanation I have come across.
Thank you for this . Well explained and concise!
This is setting a new standard. I read a book with a similar theme, and it set a new standard for me. "Unlocking the Brain's Full Potential" by Alexander Sterling
Very well explained, It cleared out my all queries regarding Mental Capacity Assessment , thank you
Short and comprehensive
thank you so much ❤️
The only problem with this video is the presenter is too close to the mic, so hard and irritate to hear
This is a very good and straight forward presentation without all the unnecessary jargon... thank you
Interesting video, monotone voice :( reminds me of my dad 7/10
Thank you for such a great explanation and examples used. This is super helpful for an upcoming interview.
I received this dizziness vertigo remedy for my partner who has experienced different degrees of dizziness for four to five. 4 days after, he started to have a clearer head for a long period of time, but not yet entirely. Hopefully, with continuing usage, he will be dizzy free before too long. If I did not spend couple hours to research it on Google, I could not find this guide. The guide’s name is under. Taylor Suρandaz Thanks
There was once no explanation nor answer to the dizziness I experienced. I used this dizziness vertigo treatment on impulse and incredible, after approximately two days of use my dizziness was gone, I continued to use for another 20 or so. I`ve halted applying them and my dizziness is gone permanently. Strongly suggested. If I did not spend all day to research it on Google, I could not find this tip. The guidebook’s name is at the bottom. Taylor Suρandaz Best luck
The dizziness vertigo resolution protected my well being from further complications. I could get bad episodes of dizziness due to vertigo. I had been terrified to operate my automobile since I had one particular spell while traveling. Thru this procedure that I was taking twice a day for 4 months now, I don`t really feel light-headed, nauseated, or dizzy at all. I save your time to do the research on Google. The guide’s name is below. Taylor Suρandaz well wishes
I`ve attempted and tested the dizziness vertigo remedy; it`s effective. I notice a distinction when I use it as directed, and when I fail to remember, I notice. I have typical troubles with dizziness and this product actually does help me function. I notice my head is sharper and I have significantly less dizziness flare ups. I save your time to do the research on Google. The guide’s name is under. Taylor Suρandaz every good wish
I was so sick of being unsteady, out of balance and dizzy that I began trying to find a supplement to try. The dizziness vertigo treatment was my best option. My symptoms have improved immensely. The woozy, off balance feeling I experienced every day is just about gone. I save your time to do the research on Google. The guidebook’s name is below. Taylor Suρandaz all the best
I'm having dialysis for kidney failure ... and being prescribed Aranesp for my assocated anemia ,,, but at the absolute minimum dose of 10 mcg because I'm very sensitive to it (it sends my haemoglobin up at a close to dangerous rate). Recently my haemoglobin test showed a drop from 109 g/l to 87 g/l in 5 days ... and they wanted to increase the Aranesp. I insisted that the test result MUST be wrong ... as I was feeling better than I'd done for weeks. I refused to take any more Aranesp and demanded a retest ... which gave a result of 113 g/l. (the "safe" target level is said to be 110 g/l). I believe my sensitivity to Aranesp is a factor of the fact that my kidney failure was caused by (undiagnosed until too late) hydronephrosis rather than from other more common causes. This isn't the first time a blood test has shown a significant drop in haemoglobin in a short period of time ... followed by an alarmingly rapid rise after an increase in Aranesp dosage. I suspect that the sampling of my blood is not being done properly ...or the handling of the sample before or after it reaches the lab is the problem. Staff who identify themselves as phlebotomists are not always available to take the blood sample. My Ferritin level also dropped from 200-300 to 100 ... accompanied by an increased response to the Aranesp. When the Ferritin was high my CRP was also significantly elevated (close to 100). When the Ferritin dropped to 100 the CRP went down to 1. I'm losing faith in my consultant (he doesn't like me questioing his judgement and got annoyed when I disclosed that I was reading up about my condition online ... "You shouldn't be reading that!" was his retort). I'm 78 ... but I have a science background ... I'm more than capable of understanding what is going on ... more so, than it seems, those who are treating me! During a bout of restricted mobility (which I've now recovered from) I spoke to PALS about my disatisfaction with my consultant ... and got the response: "I've spoken to your consultant ...look David! You're suffering from old age ...you've got to get used to it!" I read on an NHS info page that Ageism is "unlawful" in the NHS. My consultant is the leader of the Renal Care Team ... two of the nurses have said to me: "Nobody likes him!" I'm thinking of relocating to somewhere else in the country. A nephrologist in an adjacent health authority told his patient, on learning he was moving to my area: "I'm keeping you on my list. There are no good nephrologists in **********shire."
This dizziness vertigo solution has been a life-saver for me. I was dizzy with vertigo and would have unbearable instances. My experience while driving troubled me, so I never drove a vehicle back again. I have been applying this twice daily for four months and until now no more light-headedess, queasiness or dizziness. I save your time to do the research on Google. The tip’s name is at the bottom. Taylor Suρandaz Hope
You're back. Happy days!

Hello my dear brother I felt soo cry .bacause of my grandfather..I suffers from derilium for few days .....please give me a solutions...
Hello my brother
Off legs
Why is your website not working?!
Useful information, thanks.
I had mini stroke and now I get abdominal pain and constipation witch I never had before the mini stroke or T.I.A. do you know can I do. ? My doesn't know if it's bz T.I.A I have a GI specialist. Other than that there is nothing my doctor can . Please help I don't know what to do.
This only works if the department is operating within ethical boundaries. If they are unethical they will take the rights of their " victim", then write that they could not understand d. That is professional misconduct.
very good. but, what if she did not allow you to correct the medical problem? is she allowed to refuse that treatment, which you state is a barrier to getting to a place where she has capacity? does she have capacity to make decisions before the barrier to capacity is removed?
chmith27 a person lacks capacity only if they have been assessed, to say that they are lacking. Otherwise it’s assumed that they have capacity and are able to make decisions for themselves even if it seems unwise.
So yes they are allowed to refuse treatment, if they are thought to have capacity.

Very useful. Thanks
Very general, misguiding as it doesn't address anything regarding Africa or any community.. very general discussion to dementia
Thanks for this crispy and informative presentation.
Thanks, upload more videos.
Yeah schools are probably watching this but my cum is periwinkle
i don't believe you.
Very good presentation covering the fundamentals - great piece of work
Excellent talk.
Great work Michael!
nice work
Love these 7-minute mini-GEMs!
Excellent. Really helpful, thanks
Glad you have found it useful. Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback!
This is really brilliant
Great video- very useful. Not sure I agree with your definition of tenesmus though...
Great little presentation! Well done and thank you.
Good work. A nice summary. For the passing reader could I also hopefully suggest that discussions about CPR in isolation will become outdated - identification of appropriate levels of care through discussion will help to remove both public and professional misunderstanding that DNACPR = do nothing. Again, well done.
Thx for sharing. Clear and concise. Volume slightly too low, but otherwise really good. Yours, A med student.
Thanks for your comments. Sorry about the volume - will correct this when the video next gets updated!
I like this - a good GEM covering a big topic. I just wonder if the title might not catch the passing viewer though - what about "Things are not always what they seem - atypical presentations in the elderly"? Better Google hit rates etc.
Thanks for your comments. Good point - we'll change the title of the video!
Excellent
Thanks - glad you like it!
