Frailty is defined by the World Health Organisation as “a progressive age-related decline in physiological systems that results in decreased reserves of intrinsic capacity which confers extreme vulnerability to stressors and increases the risk of adverse health outcomes”.
To help increase awareness and improve understanding of Frailty, Health Education England have developed an e-learning programme which aims to standardise training and knowledge of frailty as a complex multi-system, long-term condition.
