Service overview
Frailty ACE (F-ACE) is a co-located hub which brings together experienced, senior clinical and social care professionals as a ‘team of teams’. Each individual brings not only their professional expertise but also knowledge of, and access to, the services their organisations can provide as part of a joined up, person-centred urgent care response. By working together across traditional professional, service and organisational boundaries, the ACE approach supports person-centred decision making, enables shared risk holding and supports the management of uncertainty to achieve better outcomes for individuals.
F-ACE is specifically focused on frail patients and exploring the alternatives to hospital admission for these patients who may end up with long stays that are not that person’s preference or in their best interest.
