AnnotationIn 1998, the Help the Aged Dignity on the Ward Campaign and the Orders of St John Trust commissioned the University of Sheffield to undertake research into good practice in the acute hospital care of older people. The report, "Dignity on the ward - promoting excellence in care" provides NHS staff and managers struggling to raise standards with simple, practical examples of how high standards can be achieved and replicated in hospitals across the country. This summary presents the key findings of the research, and gives those supporting older people in hospital a tool to encourage hospitals to give issues of quality the attention that they deserve.
