proactive care model
Richmond's frailty programme, using a proactive care model, has reduced hospital admissions for vulnerable residents.
A frailty programme in Richmond upon Thames, which applies a proactive care model, has significantly reduced hospital admissions for vulnerable residents. A report presented to the Health and Wellbeing Board in March 2026 highlighted the initiative's success in delivering coordinated, person-centred care.
This programme is part of a broader South West London model and Richmond is one of seven national sites participating in the National Frailty Collaborative, which tests new ways of working. The proactive care model involves multidisciplinary teams discussing at-risk patients to support earlier discharge and avoid unnecessary admissions. No further discussions are currently scheduled.
