This is a closed network for Hospices awarded grants by the Kirby Laing Foundation to support the Extending Frailty Care programme. The three-year programme aims to:

• Enable a culture shift in approach to people over the age of 65 with advancing frailty who have palliative care needs resulting in improved quality of life for and extended reach to this underserved population.
• Recognise these people experience lack of care coordination due to fragmented services and may have multiple morbidities, and varying degrees of loss of mental capacity, for example due to dementia.

We will achieve our aim using QI methodology, nurturing new and developing change agents.
