Individuals with, or at risk of, frailty attending a GP clinic for PEH in the Republic of Ireland were invited to participate. The primary outcome was feasibility, which was assessed using Bowen\u2019s framework. Secondary outcomes were based on potential impact and included frailty scores (Clinical Frailty Scale [CFS] and Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe-Frailty Instrument [SHARE-FI]) and weight. A process evaluation explored participant experience.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 124 eligible individuals, 108 (87.1%) enrolled, and 75 (69.4%) completed follow-up.
