Agewell Team and Frailty Lead GP
What is The Ageing Well Team?
The Ageing Well team gives older patients the support they need to look after their own health and wellbeing.
We provide emotional and practical support to patients aged 65+, enabling them to live independently in the community.
Our Co-ordinators work in a task-centred way, primarily with patients who may be at risk of hospitalisation or that require some additional support. With the support of the team, patients are able to regain confidence and have more control over their lives.
Our Ageing Well team is made up of Care Co-ordinators from various backgrounds and agencies meaning we have links to lots of different skill sets. Our Co-ordinators work collaboratively to utilise the expertise on offer which provides the patient with the most effective support when it is needed.

The team consists of Co-ordinators from:
- AgeUK Northamptonshire
- Northamptonshire Carers
- Northamptonshire Health Foundation Trust
- Adult Social Care Team with West Northamptonshire Council
- Social Prescribing Link Worker from the surgeries
Dr Richard Llewellyn based at Long Buckby Medical Practice is the Age Well/Frailty lead within Northamptonshire Rural PCN.
