Abstract

Working with frail older adults is an increasingly important aspect of primary care based practice, but one where education and training have not kept pace with the need for a sensitive, skilled workforce. We will present findings of a rapid evidence synthesis and qualitative interview study to elicit the priorities of older people, their carers and health care professionals during primary care consultations. This work is informing the development of interventions and initiatives to improve the experiences and outcomes of contacts between primary care professionals and frail older people
