Lay summary

This study will provide new, direct evidence about the impact of frailty on health and social care workforce requirements within the ageing population.

Public benefit statement

This study will provide new, direct evidence about the impact of frailty on health and social care workforce requirements within the ageing population. The developed simulation model will allow local and regional service planners and commissioners to explore a range of scenarios with relevance to their specific contexts. The model algorithms will be transferable to modelling of workforce requirements associated with various chronic conditions that are common within the ageing population. The improved understanding of workforce requirements offered by this study will inform workforce planning for frailty services across health and social care, ensuring future benefit for patients through provision of timely and appropriate care and a workforce planning toolkit to support local decision-making.
