| Annotation | A comprehensive national audit of intermediate care services aimed at measuring and improving standards could follow a pilot survey by the British Geriatrics Society (BGS). This article notes multi-agency, multidisciplinary requirements for intermediate care. It outlines findings from the survey of 116 intermediate care services provided by 34 primary care trusts (PCTs), that for some services, there is no connection with either primary or secondary care. The BGS is seeking funding from the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) to design and implement a national audit. (RH). |
