Frailty Care Congresses & Events Highlights 2025

Frailty is a clinical syndrome characterised by a decline in physiological reserves, leading to increased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes1-3. Frailty can progress overtime, and accelerates during illness, driving transition from mild, to moderate, to severe states of frailty4,5. Unfortunately, if frailty is picked up too late, successful intervention strategies can be limited3,5,6
N&G 2025

To protect independence and quality of life years for longer, clinical guidelines now call for earlier and routine screening in older patients, followed by comprehensive assessment and holistic care planning7-8. Frailty is not an inevitable part of ageing but a modifiable condition that can be identified, segmented, and addressed through targeted interventions2. A holistic care approach, encompassing physical, psychological and nutritional domains, is essential to slow or in some cases even reverse stages of frailty6,9. Within the nutritional domain, malnutrition and sarcopenia are critical conditions to address early7,8,10. High-protein medical nutrition, alongside individualised dietetic care and exercise can play a pivotal role in the successful management of both7-8.

Nutricia is committed to supporting healthcare professional education on best practice frailty care.

Watch the recordings to explore the latest evidence and recommendations from the Nutricia-sponsored symposia, part of the 2025 congress season.

European Geriatric Medicine Society (EuGMS): Nutricia Satellite Symposium Highlights 2025

Malnutrition is one of the key elements of driving frailty and decreasing quality of life10. Timely screening and early integration of nutritional support combined with exercise programmes can prevent vicious physical deterioration and prolong independence7,8.

Renowned experts, Dr Rebecca Stratton, Prof Tommy Cederholm and Prof Rainer Wirth shared the latest evidence, guidelines and practical methods on malnutrition screening, the role of exercise and the integration of medical nutrition into older patient care.

Fragility Fracture Network (FFN) 2025: Nutricia Satellite Symposium Highlights

It is well established that the combination of timely nutrition support and physical exercise play a key role in supporting patient recovery10.

Dr. Everson Nunes discusses the synergistic benefit of targeted nutritional intervention and physical exercise from day 1 or pre-surgery to optimise patient outcomes.

Prof Jack Bell introduces a new care pathway SIMPLER, ensuring a scalable integration of evidenced based care in the fragility fracture settings11.

Evidence behind the synergetic benefit of exercise and nutritional intervention How to optimise musculoskeletal recovery in older patients

Dr. Everson Nunes highlighted the benefits of physical exercise integration, the crucial role of nutritional intervention with high quality protein, vitamin D and Omega-3 fatty acids to have a synergetic benefit on patient outcomes and protecting muscle mass and function.

Evolution of nutritional care pathways in fragility fractures A time critical perspective

Multidisciplinary approach is increasingly adopted in practice to ensure comprehensive and patient centred care. The multidisciplinary team (MDT) addresses all aspects of treatment by developing structured pathways that ensure a holistic approach to patient care. As part of this effort, Dr. Jack Bell discussed the SIMPLER care pathway, an initiative of the FFN exemplifying coordinated, evidence based framework ultimately enhancing the quality and efficiency of patient care.
