AnnotationA project to break down prejudice against travelling communities and to improve their well-being is reducing hospital admissions. This article outlines work for the Travellers Project carried out by the older people team in Billericay and Wickford, Essex in developing care and dealing with medication problems of older travellers. The importance of engaging with travellers as a community to find out what they want before delivering the services you think they need is stressed. (RH).
