New eviQ rapid learning: Frailty and cancer

eviQ has released a new rapid learning module and clinical resource to support health professionals to identify, assess and manage frailty in older people with cancer.

Did you know frailty is more common in people with cancer and is linked to poorer outcomes?

The free, evidence-based resource provides practical guidance to help health professionals deliver the best possible care. It covers the unique considerations for older people with cancer, when frailty screening and assessment may be indicated, appropriate screening tools, and follow-up actions after a positive screening result.

This resource is relevant for cancer nurses and other health professionals caring for older people affected by cancer, particularly in supporting timely assessment, individualised care planning and appropriate referral.
