A 2-hour online learning event “What is frailty and why do we care?” was hosted by the STN on 9th October.

Subject matter experts from across the network presented background information, data and case studies on frailty and its impact on major trauma. There were discussions about frailty scoring, current frailty provision and findings from quality improvement work in NHS Lanarkshire.

133 people attended the event on MS Teams from all the Scottish regional trauma networks and from across many different professions. Feedback showed the event was highly valued.

If anyone has any ideas for a similar event on any subject around major trauma the STN team will support you.
