2025 Reversibility in Rehabilitation Webinar
When older frail people experience a health crisis their functional ability is significantly altered and yet it is at this point that their ability to live independently is judged. Decisions made during acute episodes have a lasting legacy on quality of life for the individual and their families as well as the economic impact. Social care currently operates on a ‘needs based assessment’ model which results in care packages delivered to meet needs regardless of the underlying cause and potential for change. It requires a high level of skill and detailed assessment to identify potential reversibility of a presenting level of function and engage appropriate services to optimise rehabilitation potential.
This webinar will focus on rehabilitation of older adults, particularly of interest for Nurse and Allied Health professionals.
The 90 minute session aims to cover 3 key areas:
- Review of function and the frailty model
- What are the key indicators that identify potential for reversibility of dependence in an acute episode
- What does rehabilitation look like with restricted input from community services
