Understanding Social Frailty and its Association with Falls Webinar

April 2 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

FREE

Social Frailty is an emerging, multifaceted concept defined as a continuum of being at risk of losing or having already lost social resources, social behaviours, social activities, and self-management abilities necessary to fulfill basic social needs. It is a significant predictor to physical frailty and psychological decline. Social Frailty is associated with many adverse outcomes such as falls, disability and even mortality.

Join Injury Matters, with guest presenters Dr Manonita Ghosh and Dr Hien Thi Nguyen, from ECU for the “Understanding Social Frailty and its Association with Falls” webinar, where we will explore:

  •   An overview of social frailty
  •   Key risk factors and outcomes of social frailty
  •  Measurable indicators of social frailty such as the SAGE Social Frailty Index.

This webinar is for anyone working with older adults such as home care providers, carers, and support workers, health and allied health professionals and local government officers. It is also suitable for clinicians and researchers who want to gain an understanding of the SAGE Social Frailty Index.
