Description
Frailty is a distinct health state associated with reduced function that develops as part of the ageing process, and is therefore viewed as a long-term condition. This module supports students in providing preventative and individualised care for people with frailty, enhancing their knowledge in relation to current treatment, management, and risk avoidance. It explores key legislation and local, national, and international drivers, and their application to the planning and delivery of evidence-based care. The module emphasises the importance of excellent communication skills and collaborative working.
