ICPOP

The Integrated Care Programme for Older Persons (ICPOP) at St. James’s Hospital is a specialist service designed to support frail older adults within the community and provide alternatives to acute hospital admission. It is a joint initiative between the hospital and the HSE. Using interdisciplinary teams—including nurses, therapists, and geriatricians—it provides comprehensive, community-based care to avoid unnecessary hospital visits. It focuses on frailty, falls, and dementia management.
