Fitness assessment for older patients in breast clinic

The NABCOP recommends that patients aged 70 and over who are attending breast clinic for the first time have their fitness assessed to help guide the best course of treatment. We have developed a form which records three different aspects of patient health: The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), The Abbreviated Mental Test Score (AMTS), and three screening clinical questions on whether a patient has any major diseases e.g. dementia, cardio-respiratory disease, cancer.
