The whole purpose of the ICPOP teams is to try to prevent people having to go to hospital. Their work is pre-emptive. When a person attends, they are given a raft of tests. A team will look at frailty, falls, dementia and nutrition. It will then try to support people with a social worker, a physiotherapist or whatever is required.
