Frailty changes the whole plan. The Clinical Frailty Scale turns a person's baseline function into a single, shared number — so your handover, your ceiling-of-care conversations and your admission-avoidance decisions all start from the same page.
What's on the card
The full 9-point scale, from 1 (very fit) through to 9 (terminally ill) A clear descriptor for every level, across both sides Dementia-severity guidance to support your scoring The key scoring rule up front — grade the baseline from about two weeks before the acute illness, not the current picture Designed for adults aged 65 and over

Who it's for
Paramedics, nurses and student paramedics scoring frailty in urgent, emergency and pre-hospital care.
An educational and quick-reference aid — not a medical device, and not a substitute for clinical judgement. Score using history from the patient, family, carers and records, and follow your local frailty pathways.
