Ageing and Frailty SIG
AIMS: to facilitate collaboration across disciplines and across Countries to enhance our understanding, adoption and evaluation of ageing and frailty as a key component of people centred integrated care. This SIG will build upon our collaboration with ADVANTAGE JA – the EU Joint Action on Ageing and Frailty involving 22 Member States www.advantageja.eu – as part of the dissemination and legacy of the Joint Action. The SIG will also complement the work plans of the SIGs for Intermediate Care, Polypharmacy and Adherence, Palliative and End of Life Care, and Self Management and Coproduction.
This Special Interest Group (SIG) has an international membership with 523 members and still growing. If you would like to be on the mailing list for this group, please email Marie Curran: IFICScotland@integratedcarefoundation.org and you will receive SIG updates, IFIC Scotland newsletters and information on our webinars.
