|
|
Abstract: |
This pack contains three booklets: 'National service framework for older people', 'National service framework for older people: executive summary', and 'Medicines and older people'. The national service framework for older people is a ten year programme of action linking services to support independence and promote good health, specialised services for key conditions, and culture change so that all older people and their carers are always treated with respect, dignity and fairness. The overall aim is to ensure consistent services across the country and reduce variations in standards and service levels. The document sets out standards for: rooting out age discrimination; person centred care; intermediate care; general hospital care; stroke; falls; mental health in older people; and the promotion of heath and active life in older age. Sections on local delivery of services, ensuring progress, and national support to underpin local action follow. The booklet on medicines and older people focuses in more detail on implementing medicines related aspects of the framework. |
