People aged 65 and over arriving at A&E will receive health MOTs to assess frailty or underlying conditions, aiming to reduce hospital admissions and improve care quality.
The initiative aims to quickly assess older patients and direct them to appropriate support, recognizing hospital settings may not always be the most suitable for their needs.
Assessing frailty is crucial, as falls and resulting injuries are common reasons for hospitalization in older adults, highlighting the increasing impact of frailty on healthcare services.
