Preventing and Managing Frailty in Stoke-on-Trent Conference

This conference will bring together people working in health, social care and community settings to explore our approach to preventing and managing frailty, and to promoting independence for older aged adults across Stoke-on-Trent.

The aims of the day include:

To ensure the local health system has a model that enables people in Stoke-on-Trent who are moderately and severely frail to maintain independence at home, and when the need arises, to have access to the best possible choice of step-up and step-down care.
To hear good practice examples of frailty management and prevention from other Integrated Care Systems
To understand the population health management approach and our local population data
To test and further develop the proposed local model
To confirm the road map required for a new model to be in place for April 2026

This event is for you if:

You work in health and social care settings in Stoke-on-Trent

You are interested in helping us to shape how we prevent and manage frailty across of Stoke-on-Trent
