Frailty in general practice – a team approach: September 2025

This webinar is designed to improve understanding of frailty within general practice (GP).

It is for GP practice frailty leads as defined in the 2025-26 Directed Enhanced Service (DES). It is also for members of the general practice multidisciplinary team with an interest in ageing and frailty. 

By the end of the webinar participants will: 

• be able to define frailty and explain its relevance in the context of general practice.
• have an awareness of how to recognise frailty within general practice using the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS).
• have an awareness of evidence-based interventions and approaches for assessing and managing frailty within general practice.
• know how to access resources on frailty identification and appropriate interventions for older people living with frailty.
• understand the requirements of the DES.

The webinar will be chaired by Dr Paul Baughan, Clinical Lead for General Practice, Healthcare Improvement Scotland. He is also a General Practitioner with Dollar Health Centre, NHS Forth Valley.
