Implementation of a frailty screening programme and Geriatric Assessment Service in a nephrology centre: a quality improvement project.

CONCLUSIONS: This quality improvement project details an approach to the implementation of a frailty screening programme and GA service within a nephrology centre. Patients living with frailty and CKD at risk of adverse outcomes can be identified using the CFS. Furthermore, a GA can be used to identify problems and implement a person-centred management plan that aims to improve outcomes for this vulnerable group of patients.
