Following the first successful study day hosted by the RCEM Older Person in Emergency Medicine (OPEM) Special Interest Group, we are pleased to host a second ‘Focus on Frailty’ study day.

During this study day we will follow the patient journey of an older aged patient living with frailty, presenting to the Emergency Department with a fall, considering:

• Initial trauma assessment
• Possible traumatic injuries by body systems – chest, abdomen/pelvis and skeletal
• Use of the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) in the ED
• End of life care

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
