Chartered Physiotherapists working with Older People

Grateful if you could consider completing the below survey

AGILE have teamed up with the CSP to create easy to read briefings which highlight the NHS England Long Term Plan's commitments for older people. The briefing also includes recommendations as to how you could get involved in taking the Plan forward in your area.

The British Orthopaedic Association Trauma Group has produced this BOAST (short standards document), which is supported by the British Geriatrics Society, National Hip Fracture Database and the Fragility Fracture Network UK.

In 2018, survey work by the British Geriatrics Society identified that although there is good evidence that exercise can help to prevent and treat frailty and sarcopenia, many organisations did not offer exercise programmes to older people with these conditions.

To improve provision and content of exercise programmes for these conditions, AGILE and the BGS are working together to better understand current provision and referral pathways

As healthcare decision makers in your area start developing plans and allocating resources for delivery,
CSP members across the country have a golden opportunity to ensure physiotherapy is at the front and
centre of their minds as they do.
