‘Frailty’ is a term that’s used a lot, but is often misunderstood. When used properly, it refers to a person’s mental and physical resilience, or their ability to bounce back and recover from events like illness and injury.
We have a frailty service set up within the practice who aim to provide continuity of care for our population who have been identified as frail. We aim to proactively identify these people and make contact with them but if you feel yourself or a relative would benefit from their input please contact us to inform us and we can discuss this with you.
If you are already under the care of our frailty team and would like to speak with them please call them on 07832 179948.
