Frailty - Assessment, Risk Reduction & Management
1 Day - 8 CPD Hours

The concepts of frailty, deconditioning and sarcopaenia, loss of muscle and strength, are relatively new and our knowledge of these conditions is growing. Our population is ageing, in 1951 average male life expectancy was 66.4 years, by 2016 this had risen to 79.5 years. The average female life expectancy rose from 71.5 to 83.1 years. The average man will have 16.2 years (20%) in poor health and the average woman, 19.2 years (23%) of poor health.

Ageing is associated with reduced levels of physiological reserve. Around 10% of people aged 65+ and 25-50% of people aged 85+ are frail.

“Frailty is a distinctive health state related to the ageing process in which multiple body systems gradually lose their in-built reserves” (BGS, 2014)

Frailty is not an inevitable part of ageing; it is a long term condition. It varies in severity and can improve or worsen.

This study day examines the factors that increase the risk of frailty and what the nurse, as part of the multidisciplinary team can do to reduce risks and improve quality of life.

Mental Health Awareness Week💚

Since 2001, the Mental Health Foundation has been leading Mental Health Awareness Week - bringing together the UK to focus on getting good mental health. Each May, millions of people from every part of society take part.

‘Movement: Moving more for our mental health’ is the theme of Mental Health Awareness Week 2024💪

Regular physical activity is known to improve mental health, quality of life, and wellbeing. It also helps prevent and treat heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and breast and colon cancer, and more. Despite these benefits being well established, over a third of UK adults do not meet the recommended amount of activity.

In our new report, we explore what’s stopping the UK population from being more active, and what could help get people moving more for their mental health.
