Improving care for older people in general hospitals
GM, 37, April, 2007
Older people with complex needs have increasingly become the largest group to use hospital
wards but routine systems of care have been slow to reflect this. Standard 4 of the National
Service Framework for Older People was designed to improve hospital care for them and
40 national pilot studies were established. Professor John Young and Deborah Sturdy review
the practical strategies and what still needs to be done to enact change.
