The Centre for Perioperative Care (CPOC) and the British Geriatrics Society (BGS) have worked together to develop a whole pathway guideline on perioperative care for people living with frailty undergoing elective and emergency surgery. 

ARE YOU A PHYSIOTHERAPIST WHO ROUTINELY WORKS WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY?  

If so, please get in touch (contact.agilephysio@gmail.com) if you would be willing to participate in a focus group to support defining the content / information included within the product specification for the NHS Supply Chain catalogue for a digital wearable physiotherapist guided exercise aid designed for use by individuals before and/or after Total Knee Replacement surgery.

The Clinical Frailty Scale (also known as Rockwood) is a quick tool that is used to identify people at risk of frailty. The scale has been widely rolled out in the NHS, and although it is quick to use, it is important that the tool is used correctly. AGILE have created a poster aimed a physios to give them some top tips on the use of the scale.
