Skills of a Practice Frailty Nurse

Embedding a Practice Frailty Nurse in a practice in North Cumbria has resulted in fewer admissions and fewer ED attendances by older people living with complex needs and frailty.  You can read the case study on the SCIE website.

The skills highlighted for the role include experience in the care of older people and around comprehensive assessment, problem identification and care planning.
