Presentation by Advanced General Practice Nurse / Nurse Partner – Frailty Project Lead

The Advanced General Practice Nurse, Pauline Jespersen gave a presentation on the Oban Frailty Project which took a prevention and early intervention approach to addressing frailty in older people.  She was joined by Dr Eric Jespersen and Dr Ruth McLean from the Lorn Medical Centre where the project is run from.  They explained the process involved and how this has brought about positive outcomes for patients. The long term plan was to take a more anticipatory approach and it was hoped to role the project out to other areas and practices.  They then responded to a number of questions asked.
