New report says that patients are never too old for prevention measures

The British Geriatrics Society has published a new report saying patients are never too old to benefit from preventative measures and that the impact on quality of life for an older population would be ‘significant’. The report, €˜Healthier for Longer‘, examines how prevention is, and should be, the cornerstone of geriatric medicine. It says all health professionals should be looking for better health outcomes for their patients, allowing them to stay well, remain independent, stay out of hospital and return home as quickly as possible when they are admitted to hospital. Optimism can help people attain exceptional longevity   Lords launch
