How best to deliver geriatric care across the whole hospital? This collection outlines key articles that are attempting to develop solutions to this challenging conundrum. 

The Centre for Perioperative Care, working in collaboration with the British Geriatrics Society, has published guidance for the care of people living with frailty undergoing elective and emergency surgery that encompasses the whole perioperative pathway.

This standard has been jointly produced by the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA), the British Geriatrics Society (BGS) and other organisations.

This collection shows how far frailty has come, not just an abstract concept, but a condition with an established and important place in the healthcare of older people.

The first challenge on your improvement journey is to identify whether there are areas of the care you provide for frail older patients that could be improved, and then convincing others that the solution to the problem is the right one.
