Frailty Clinic
I was given an appointment to attend the frailty clinic at the Conquest hospital in Hastings. I had never heard of the clinic, nor had any of my friends. However, I had once attended A&E and assumed this is how I was discovered. I attended and was almost seen immediately by an extremely professional "Frailty Practitioner", the consultation lasting well over an hour. Most people would be prepared to be treated at home, rather than in hospital if this were possible - by doing this, hundreds of beds would become available and thousands of pounds saved. We hear such adverse reports of the NHS - why has a scheme such as this not been given publicity?
