Following the first successful study day hosted by the RCEM Older Person in Emergency Medicine (OPEM) Special Interest Group, we are delighted to present our second event – ‘Focus on Frailty’.

This event covers a wide range of topics relating to the patient journey of an older aged patient living with frailty, including triage in the older trauma patient, front door frailty and end of life care, as well as silver trauma research, simulation frailty and an update from the RCEM National QIP team.

Learning objectives:

• Gain an understanding of the differences in trauma presentation, assessment and management for the older patient living with frailty
• Why the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) method of assessment is useful and how it can be applied in the ED setting
• Develop knowledge and skills in providing end of life care to older patients living with frailty in the ED
