Our Frailty Virtual Ward prevents hospital admissions which is important as the majority of our frailty patients are elderly.
This week Frailty Nurse Leanne went to visit 93-year old Doreen in the comfort of her own home.

Slips, trips and falls become more likely during icy weather conditions, so it’s important to be mindful of the weather before setting off.
🧤 Keep your hands free
🥾 Wear shoes with good grip
❄️ Avoid going out early when the frost is thick or late at night when it’s dark.
