​​Frailty Expert | GP | Educator and Innovator 

​

I help care providers, systems, and training organisations deliver high-quality, person-centred care for older adults living with frailty.

​

I’m Chair of the Community Hospital Association, a GP with a special interest in frailty and dementia, and the founder of Home Visit Healthcare, a private GP service offering home visits, assessments, and frailty-focused consultancy.

​

I also lead Upskill for Frailty , an education programme supporting care agencies, carers, and managers to improve confidence and reduce avoidable hospital admissions.

​

You can also find me writing "Healthacate", a LinkedIn newsletter on positive ageing and frailty, read by over 1,000 professionals across health and social care.
