Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) Learning Module

Frailty is an important factor in understanding how patients may respond to surgery and other medical treatments. The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a widely used tool that helps health care professionals assess frailty and support patient-centred care.

What you'll learn:

  • Principles of frailty assessment
  • How to use and score the Clinical Frailty Scale
  • Practical case examples
  • Best practices for applying the CFS in clinical care and research
