Frailty training program recommendations

Structure

Multidisciplinary participants and facilitators

Hybrid teaching modalities (e.g., online and in‐person teaching, if possible, or interactive virtual experiences) to promote engagement, interaction between participants and flexibility in the context of other commitments

Allow for scalability (in duration/intensity) for differing levels of expertise/knowledge needs

Embed review of program and assessment of effectiveness to enable quality improvement

Content

Content tailored to specific health professionals, teams (e.g., medical/surgical disciplines), or setting

Assess prior knowledge and experience

Mix of theoretical knowledge and practical skills

Address frailty myths and misconceptions

Consider ongoing learning resources: handouts, online material, link with mentor, clinical placement

Implementation

Embed in course/curriculum

Dedicated time concurrent with relevant clinical experience
