Strength Before Slip: How Nurses Can Change the Ageing Trajectory

Understand frailty, spot it early, screen confidently, and learn how to change ageing trajectories. Practical tools & referral steps.

Join us for an engaging and practical session designed specifically for practice nurses who play a crucial role in identifying and supporting older adults at risk of frailty, sarcopenia, and functional decline. This session will equip you with clear, evidence-informed tools to recognise early signs, screen confidently, and understand exactly how exercise physiology fits into the care pathway to change ageing trajectories.

You’ll learn:
• What frailty really is and why early detection matters
• How to recognise frailty using simple, validated screening tools
• How to screen for sarcopenia in under two minutes
• How exercise physiologists assess, intervene, and improve outcomes
• The role of exercise in preventing falls, managing chronic disease, and maintaining independence
• A real case study showing what early referral can achieve
• How and when to refer, and what information helps us support your patients best

This session is designed to be clear, practical, and clinically relevant, giving you confidence to spot risk earlier and strengthen your referral pathways.
