Review
"a thought provoking book which, although intended for primary care, will also be of value to those working in hospital" – Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
From the Back Cover
This practical guide addresses the health–care needs of older people, within the wide contexts that affect so significantly their physical well–being. Advocating a multidisciplinary approach to care of older people, this work addresses the need for, and practicalities of, a team–based approach to their care. Changes in primary and secondary health–care policy are discussed, and account rationing and delivery of care implications are taken into account. The authors, three respected primary–care physicians, use case studies to illustrate the typical and not–so–typical challenges in caring for older people. A range of practical solutions are discussed.
