DGT’s Frailty Team Expansion Project

In order to improve the quality of care delivered locally to older people, we have expanded the Frailty Team as part of a system-wide project. The Frailty Team currently consists of specialist nurses and consultants who advise on the care and treatment of older inpatients across the Trust.

The new project focuses on:

  1. The review of all older people attending our Emergency Department with falls, delirium, difficulty managing. The team will offer specialist support to ED
  2. Strengthening our links with the community by offering specialist advice to GPs and other community services using a referral service accessed via telephone
  3. The review of patients in the Frailty Assessment Unit based within Darent Valley Hospital’s Evergreen Unit
  4. Supporting the hospital wards with teaching, education and advice regarding frailty, falls and delirium

We look forward to being able to further support and develop the care for elderly people within our community.
