| Annotation | A 95-strong team of nurses, health care assistants, therapy staff and managers at the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust act as older people's champions. All have undergone special training that highlights the needs and rights of older patients, and use their knowledge to root out ageism. They also advise other members of staff in wards and clinics about the care of, and attitudes toward, older people. This article reports their experiences as champions for older people's needs.
