Managing Frailty in Primary Care

Frailty presents a growing challenge within primary care, requiring proactive, coordinated support to improve outcomes and quality of life. This conference brings together health and social care professionals to explore best practice in frailty management, with a strong focus on multidisciplinary working and the use of digital health interventions to identify and support people living with, or at risk of, frailty.

Join us to gain practical insights, share learning, and strengthen collaborative approaches that help reduce avoidable hospital admissions while improving patient outcomes and overall care experiences.

• GPs and primary care teams
• Community and social care professionals
• Allied health professionals
