Recognising and managing frailty in primary care (May 2017)
Claire Cox posted an article in GP and primary care
This issue of Effectiveness Matters has been produced by the Centres for Review and Dissemination in collaboration with the Yorkshire and Humber AHSN and the Improvement Academy and updates a previous issue published in January 2015. Frailty is a distinct health state related to reduced function across multiple physiological systems that develops as part of the ageing process. Frailty means that even minor events can trigger disproportionate changes in health status after which the patient fails to recover to their previous level of health.- Posted

Content ArticleThe creation of a national network of medical examiners (MEs) was recommended in the Shipman inquiry and was alluded to in the Mid-Staffordshire and Morecambe Bay public inquiries. The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health, Lord O’Shaughnessy, confirmed in October 2017 that a national system of medical examiners will be introduced from April 2019. The ME reforms set out in the 2009 Coroners Act will be implemented nationally in two phases. By April 2019, NHS trusts should set up non-statutory schemes, based upon the national pilots (particularly in Leicester, Sheffield and Gloucester), funded in part from cremation form fees, in preparation for the commencement of a statutory scheme in 2020/21. A National Medical Examiner will be appointed, reporting directly to the National Director of Patient Safety.

This case study outlines the approach of South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as one of the early adopter sites.
