2. Dr Danny Bryden : Vice dean of FFICM , based in Sheffield , has done a lot of QI work around frailty and collaborates with Simon on frailty and ICU

Key discussion point

1. Clinical frailty score ( CFS) not widely used in ICU , cannot be extracted from EHR ( has cognitive and functional components to it) . Validated for > 65 only.

2. Sheffield ICU has CFS built into its EHR - have years worth of it for ALL ICU admission ( done by admitting clinical)

3. The young frail patient : Under studied - Simon working in a grant to look at this at a population level

4. A Geriatrician has attempted to phenotype frailty with ICD-10 : Not much came out of it
   I have emailed him - would be cool to have a read of his PHD
