Title: What matters most to older people living with advancing frailty?

 

Overview: Older people living with advancing frailty (OPWF) are an unrepresented, often unheard population, and yet are predicted to become one of the largest uses of palliative care. The PALLUP study aims to understand the changing needs of this population, and how services adapt and respond to what matters most to the older person and their unpaid carers.
