They encompassed 40 specialties (40% surgical, 33% medical, 15% emergency\/critical care, 12% imaging\/laboratory) across 39 countries (91% EU\/EEA\/UK). Respondents were predominantly late career (63%), university-hospital-based (73%), and 44% were female. Most (83%) reported no formal geriatric training. While the perceived importance of frailty was high (mean 8.0 out of 10), 56% believed frailty is generally or inevitably worsening over time. Although 68% were aware of at least one validated frailty tool, 36% never used such tools, most commonly due to lack of familiarity or time constraints. Confidence in managing frailty was low (mean 4.7\/10), and only 29% felt frailty is adequately addressed within their clinical setting. Nearly all respondents agreed that non-geriatric specialists should have basic competencies in frailty (90%) and 86% supported including a frailty appendix in relevant European Training Requirements.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Non-geriatric specialists recognise the clinical importance of frailty, but report limited confidence and insufficient structured training.
