🤸 FOCUS ON FRAILTY Week 6 - E is for Exercise 🚶‍♂️

For our final week, Kathryn and Paul from our Frailty team spoke to Alison Moss this morning on BBC Radio Jersey about the importance of exercise and keeping active as we get older.

Regular exercise helps prevent frailty by building strength, improving balance, and reducing the risk of falls. It also supports heart health, boosts energy, and helps keep blood sugar levels steady.

✨ Small moves make a big difference!
Try daily walks, gentle stretching, or low-impact exercise. You can even fit movement into everyday moments—do a few squats while the kettle boils or while washing the dishes.

📘 Want to learn more?
The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy’s “Get Up and Go” booklet has helpful information on keeping active and is free to download at www.csp.org.uk

FOCUS ON FRAILTY Week 5 - V is for Vital Signs

As we get older, natural changes happen in our bodies. Spotting these changes early—through regular health checks, screening, and monitoring long-term conditions—can help prevent or reduce frailty and support healthier ageing.

What can you do?
✔ Attend annual GP health checks and reviews for long-term conditions
✔ Have a structured medication review to make sure your medicines are still right for you
✔ Stay up to date with vaccinations, including Flu and COVID
✔ Have the shingles vaccination if you are eligible
✔ Attend routine vision and hearing checks

Looking after your vital signs today can help you stay independent and well for longer.
Our Frailty team spoke to Alison Moss on BBC Radio Jersey this morning about vital signs and also the importance of 'life admin'. Listen back on BBC Sounds - link below 👇👇👇
