New Local Health Services for Older Residents

Local NHS services have announced a new Centre of Excellence for Frailty to support local older residents.

This week, the Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care partnership announced that it is launching a Centre of Excellence for Frailty to support the health and care of local older residents.

Building on the pioneering work of the Jean Bishop Integrated Care Centre in Hull – the plan aims to create a standardised approach to the prevention, identification and management of frailty.

This ensures that older people in the region will receive consistent, high-quality care and treatment regardless of their location.

The Centre is built on the principle of older patients avoiding hospital stays and greater independence. A five-minute film has been made on the Centre, available on the HNY Health and Care Partnership YouTube channel.
