| Annotation | The Royal College of Psychiatrists' Faculty of Old Age Psychiatry has been involving users and carers in its work since 2002. The model that has been developed involves regular meetings of a consumer group, which was set up in partnership with the Alzheimer's Society and Age Concern, and which meets with officers of the Faculty. This development is in line with a number of recent policy initiatives and has had considerable influence on the Faculty's work. (RH). |
