This unit focuses on the recognition and care of the frail and older adult in various settings. This unit will suitably prepare the clinical practitioner to recognise a frail patient, assess, clinically reason and manage them appropriately in various clinical settings.
Students will explore the wider context, underpinning evidence in this field and the barriers and solutions to managing frailty collaboratively across primary and secondary care. This is of critical importance to advanced clinical practice given the developing context of integrated health and social care working environments.

If you plan to fund your own studies, please follow the instructions below:
Programme or Modular?
With MMU, you can choose to take units either modularly or as part of a programme of study.
Modular study allows you to take one-off units and collect academic credits that you may, where allowable, count towards a future academic award, either at MMU or another university.
Programme-based study means you pursue a particular award and study units applicable to that award. You can read about MMU's programmes of study in our prospectus.
Application Form
Once you have decided whether to apply for a programme or modular study, complete and return an MMU Application Form.
HE Co-operative Application
All applications for prescribing courses require an additional application form available to complete at http://www.hecooperative.co.uk/ . You should download and complete this form and return it to MMU Admissions via email (directapplications@mmu.ac.uk).
Receipt of Applications
Once MMU has received both your MMU and HE Co-operative applications, your details will be passed to the academic lead for consideration.
We will notify you of the outcome of your application as soon as possible.
