We’re excited to make available a new on-line learning resource for AFN members – Mrs B’s Frailty Journey. Mrs B’s journey is a virtual study day hosted on the Moodle platform, exploring the frailty journey from early recognition to end of life.
The study day consists of a series of lectures aimed at primary and secondary care practitioners looking at frailty from early recognition to end of life. To provide clinical relevance, we follow a fictitious patient – ‘Mrs B’ - on her journey through advancing stages of frailty. The individual topics are introduced by Dr Debbie Bertfield and Dr Shama Mani who are joined by the AFN’s clinical lead, Professor Simon Conroy, to discuss the key learning points and consider best practice in a national context.
At the end of the nine topics is an opportunity to check your learning with a series of multiple choice questions. There are also a number of general resources and links provided that will support your journey as you progress through the topics.
Please be aware
that this is designed as a ‘Virtual Study Day’ rather than a quick single topic
course. It is aimed at colleagues who would like to be able to view the study
day’s content in their own time and location, and contains approximately
3.5hours of video footage, as well as the general resources and multiple choice
questions.
Following on from this, we have now developed a short series of webinars
that will follow fictitious patient, Mr B, through his COVID-19 frailty
journey, from clinical presentation in the Emergency Department through to end
of life care. These webinars were presented by a group of consultants from
Barnet Hospital:
Part 1 - Introduction: In this webinar, we introduce Mr B and discuss the clinical presentation
of COVID-19 in frail older patients. Please click here to view recording
Part 2 - Treatment Escalation: In this webinar, we will follow
