A six part programme aimed to give attendees a better understanding of what can be done to help patients with frailty with real-world scenarios and in the context of our current service availability in Highland. The sessions are based off of the six domains of the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment.

The programme format
The ECHO model is designed to help practitioners master complexity by looking at anonymised patient case examples which represent a wider learning need and opportunity. Daniel Simpson and Dr. Martin Wilson will be providing oversight of the sessions with support from a multi disciplinary panel of local experts assisting with individual sessions and the overall scope of the content. The programme will take a blended approach between case based learning and presentations put together by experts in Highland that will share best practice around frailty. Through the discuss of realistic cases we aim to inspire group dialogue; the combination of teaching, group mentoring, and facilitation ensures that knowledge grows and future patients can benefit. As sessions progress, participants should feel more comfortable to bring their own cases and stories to the group as well.
Why do we need a Frailty ECHO network?
The aim of the programme is to give attendees a better understanding of what can be done to help patients with frailty with real-world scenarios and in the context of services which are actually available rather than what would ideally be available. With clinicians having to managing increasingly complex frailty presentations with limited resources, this programme takes a holistic view of frailty through real life case studies to help bridge this gap.
Who is it for?
This ECHO network is aimed at clinicians in NHS Highland Primary Care which would include GPs, GP Registrars and Advanced Practitioners (from nursing, paramedic, pharmacist backgrounds) who are involved in holistic management of patients with frailty.
