Perceptions of frailty and falls in older adults using an English regional ambulance service: A descriptive phenomenological study
This study uniquely explores frailty and falls through the stories of older adults using an NHS ambulance service. It highlights that older adults in this setting often differ from the older population in general, have a higher frailty prevalence than patients in other settings and appear to view the future with greater pessimism.
