Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patient participant:
  • 1\. Attending and being discharged from the Acute Medical Unit at Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham or Leicester Royal Infirmary, Leicester
  • 2\. Aged 70 years or over, either sex
  • 3\. Identified as being at high risk of adverse outcomes using the Identification of Seniors At Risk (ISAR) score
  • When the decision to discharge the patient has been made, usually by duty consultant, the Multidisciplinary Team responsible for making the discharge arrangements will identify all those who are 70 years old or over who score positive on the ISAR score and are living within the usual catchment area of the hospital and indicate them to the study researcher. Patients with potential exceptional reasons for non\-recruitment will be discussed with the researcher. These methods have worked successfully in a related cohort study run on the unit in Nottingham already.
  • Carer participant:
  • 4\. Identified as carer of a patient participant; any carer present with the patient participant will be invited to be a carer participant for the study. If a carer participant is not present on the AMU but known to exist, an invitation and information sheet, consent form and questionnaire will be given to the patient participant.

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Patient without capacity where there is no consultee available
  • 2\. Any exceptional reason cited by the AMU should not be recruited (e.g. dangerous)
  • 3\. Patient not resident in normal hospital catchment area
