Frailty, E-Learning for Excellence in Frailty Identification Assessment Training

In 2021, Health Innovation Wessex (previously Wessex Academic Health Science Network), Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust (HHFT), in collaboration with the London Clinical Frailty Network and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and Health Education England are delighted to announce the launch of Frailty, E-Learning for Excellence in Frailty Identification, Assessment and Personalised Care (Tier 1 and 2).

Please access the training at: https://portal.e-lfh.org.uk/Component/Details/683810, or via Frailty - e-Learning for Healthcare alongside the frailty screening toolkits at https://wessexahsn.org.uk/projects/316/frailty-screening-and-identification

This exciting and novel collaboration enabled the development of an e-learning programme aimed at standardising training and knowledge of frailty as a complex multi-system, long term condition.

The education programme is compliant with the ‘Frailty, A framework of core capabilities’ (2018) and has been funded through Health Education England’s Urgent and Emergency Care Workforce Collaborative for London. The e-learning compliments the Tier 3 British Geriatrics Society capabilities and skills.

An evaluation on the impact and spread of the frailty e-learning was published March 2022.
