The development of acute frailty services is crucial for our ageing population. According to the Office for National Statistics UK 2021 census, over one-sixth (18.6%, 11.1 million) of the population were aged 65 years and over and this is estimated to increase to 25% of the population in the next 20 years. A person who is defined as frail is at high risk of adverse outcomes such as falls, immobility, delirium, incontinence, side effects of medication – and admission to hospital or the need for long-term care. (NHS England, 2024).
