University of Southampton co-ordinated written evidence submission to: Supporting people with frailty outside of hospitals

Executive Summary

The number of older adults living with multiple long-term conditions (MLTC) and frailty in the UK continues to rise. Care for older adults with MLTC and frailty is often divided between routine care in general practice and community health services with most acute care being provided in hospital settings. However, with further investment in community settings, more people could be cared for closer to home. At the University of Southampton, we have a developing portfolio of research investigating best practice in the proactive and urgent community care for older adults living with MLTCs and frailty. This portfolio consists of:

Urgent Care Services for People Living with Frailty
Proactive Care Services for People Living with Frailty

This submission identifies the following priority areas for further research:

Implementing best practice approaches to frailty care
Integration of proactive and urgent care for people living with frailty
Team based approaches to general practice for people living with frailty
