DESCRIPTION:\nStatus: This talk has been cancelled\nAvoiding hospital admi
 ssion is often a priority for frail older people\, and is a focus of healt
 h policy as many countries consider investing in out of hospital services 
 such as hospital at home to reduce reliance on hospitals.  Encouraged by t
 he rapid set-up of out-of-hospital services during the COVID-19 pandemic\,
  there is a renewed emphasis on providing safe and high quality ‘hospita
 l at home’ that offers an alternative to a hospital admission. This has 
 the dual purpose of increasing bed capacity and providing patients with th
 e option to remain at home. To address uncertainty about the effectiveness
 \, acceptability and cost effectiveness of admission avoidance hospital at
  home\, we designed and conducted a parallel open multi-site randomised tr
 ial of admission avoidance hospital at home compared with admission to hos
 pital. Over 1\,000 older people across the UK consented to be part of the 
 study and were randomised to hospital at home or hospital admission. This 
 presentation will report a summary of the trial findings.\nSpeakers:\nProf
 essor Sasha Shepperd (Nuffield Department of Population Health\, Universit
