Vaccination remains a central component of the UK’s public health strategy to protect older adults against seasonal respiratory infections, particularly during the winter months.

From neighbourhood health, to prevention, to digital technology, Fit for the Future: 10 Year Plan for England is a 177-page document setting out the direction of travel of the NHS for the next decade. Here we pull out the key points, explain the impact they may have on older people's care, and suggest some questions for BGS members to ask local decision-makers.

As winter approaches, BGS members across the country will be considering the impact that the change in seasons will have on their patients and services. These 12 actions are intended as a guide to the core components of safe, high-quality care for older people that are transferable between care settings.

This document outlines evidence for proactive care and support for older adults with moderate to severe frailty.
