Aims of the programme

Text

The Extending Frailty Care Programme invited 11 hospices to think in creative ways to support high quality care for older people living with frailty towards the end of their lives. It ran from April 2022 to March 2025.

A key aim of the programme was to test out these approaches and share our learning so that other hospices and health systems can replicate successful ways of working.
