Abstract

Aims

This study aimed to assess the knowledge, behaviour, and attitudes of healthcare professionals to frailty assessment in emergency surgical admissions.

Findings

Frailty assessment is well supported by healthcare professionals working in surgery. However, in clinical practice, standardised tools are not routinely being used and only half of respondents were able to accurately identify frailty from clinical vignettes.

Message

Better education around frailty assessment is needed for healthcare professionals working in surgery to improve perioperative pathway for people living with frailty.
