Abstract
Anticholinergic medicines are routinely prescribed to manage a variety of clinical conditions, but are potentially inappropriate in the treatment of older people, especially those living with frailty. Here, the authors describe how their AC-FRAIL tool can assist practices to identify frail older people within a practice population who are at greatest risk from anticholinergic burden.
