We are thrilled to announce that we have launched a set of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) resources. These are available free to all who need them, right here, on our website.
CGA is the cornerstone of good quality care for older people, and, despite its name, it is not just an assessment but a process.
Our hub equips the entire multidisciplinary team, across a wide range of clinical settings, with the tools and skills to embed CGA into their everyday care of older patients. It is crucial that people living with frailty and multimorbidity receive personalised care when and where they need it. Good CGA is the best way to help you deliver this.
Our new CGA Hub aims to provide clear, concise, evidence-based information to help medical professionals understand the benefits of CGA and contribute to this process in a variety of settings.
Providing an overview of the rationale, evidence and application of CGA, the CGA Hub breaks down this process into its key domains – physical, psychological, functional, social, environmental, and future wishes. Within each domain, it provides further detail on how the assessment process can be applied. It also gives advice on how to embed CGA into your service.
We hope this will become an invaluable resource for everyone, from those who are unfamiliar with CGA, to those who want to improve or upscale the CGA they already offer.
