Frailty (health and wellbeing needs in South Tyneside)

Evidence for interventions

NICE Clinical Guidelines October 2015 provide clear guidance, which identifies the need for:

  • Case identification using appropriate agreed scoring systems (in South Tyneside within Primary Care, the Rockwood score is employed).
  • Leading by example within the public sector.
  • Promoting healthy lifestyle through encouragement, and providing local support for this (for example by subsidised gym memberships or increased transport provisions for general health and wellbeing).
