| Annotation | Community and district nurses are particularly well-placed to spot and prevent elder abuse. However, specific training on elder abuse has not been a mandatory part of nurses' training curriculum. This document highlights the problem of family violence, focusing particularly on elder abuse. It draws attention to the circumstances that make some people especially vulnerable; and shows how to recognise signs of abuse,and what to do if abuse is suspected. One of the aims is therefore to bring about change, beginning with mandatory training for nurses in elder abuse. (RH). |
