Frailty training

Sessions covered are:
Concept of Frailty / Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment / Falls / MSK / Polypharmacy / Dementia and delirium / Anxiety and Depression / Nutrition and Swallow / Continence / Skin Integrity / Moderate frailty, rehabilitation & Milford Integrated Care Hub (MICH) / Severe frailty management out of hospital / Severe frailty management & anticipatory care / MDT and frailty research / Ageing well and families and carers.
We encourage all delegates to attend the full course, complete a final assessment (1 hour), deliver frailty awareness training and some practicals relating to patients with frailty. Delegates become a ‘Frailty Champion’.
Staff not able to do the full Frailty Champions training, are welcome to attend all or some of the sessions that are most relevant to them.
Delegates are expected to have already completed frailty tier 1 training which is available as a powerpoint learning pack from the Frailty Academy or can be accessed on the e-learning for healthcare website here.
The programme is delivered by the Guildford & Waverley Frailty Academy therefore some content relates to local referral pathways. Staff from other areas should be aware of this as their local processes may differ.
