| Annotation | Advocacy can be of great benefit to older people in hospital as a means of getting and using information, being heard and making decisions, providing protection against abuse, and challenging discrimination. This report uses case studies to describe the setting up and running of advocacy schemes for older people in hospital. It outlines the barriers, problems and pitfalls facing advocacy schemes, and how such difficulties might be overcome. It provides policy, practice and research recommendations which would improve the scope and quality of advocacy in hospital. (RH). |
