| Annotation | The National Service Framework for Older People (NSF) states that older people's care in hospital should be delivered by staff who have the right set of skills to meet their needs. This article outlines an innovative project to enhance the knowledge and skills of acute care ward staff in Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust. The project aims to: develop champions in clinical areas; use action learning and critical companionship to develop care; engage senior management and other stakeholders; involve older people; and develop systems to maintain and disseminate good care.
