Good on ya. In my experience, it’s not the word to which people object, it’s the state. Better than renaming, understand frailty and tackle it. Often in hospitals, no matter the word, many are comfortable in denigrating the people who live with it. That’s what needs to change.

The @FrailtyEthncity study exhibition is officially open to the public. I'll be here until 2.30pm. It's nice and cool in here at the Haymarket shopping centre so if you are in Leicester and want a break from the sunshine come and have a looksee.

@marktaylor18 @GeriSoc @Krockdoc Correlation is not great between any frailty measures - different tools for different functions. For me CFS immediate clinical use, HFRS population segmentation similar to eFI but using secondary care data
