Stronger for longer: a multi-disciplinary approach to frailty

Frailty is one of the most under-recognised yet modifiable conditions in general practice. This practical session will equip GPs with evidence-based tools to identify frailty early and recognise functional decline before it becomes a crisis. We’ll also explore the role of strength training in frail older adults, recognising exercise as a genuine clinical intervention.

Walk away with practical, evidence-based strategies you can apply in your very next consultation.
