• The aim of this paper is to discuss three potential contributions of implementation science which are central to the field that could help clinicians and researchers better design and evaluate more effective integrated care programmes for older people with frailty. These are: stakeholder engagement; using implementation science frameworks; and assessment of implementation strategies and outcomes.
