| Annotation | Articles in this issue of Quality in Ageing stress the need for participation and partnership, in the sense of involving older people, their families and service providers in a "relational endeavour". They draw on projects that are delivered in differing geographical contexts, two from Southern Ireland, one from Scotland, and two from Wales. The Irish examples describe developments in a community hospital that provides a mixture of respite, rehabilitative and long-term services; and quality standards in health and social care being implemented by the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA). In Scotland, the Profile of Learning Achievements in Care Environments (PLACE) project described by Brown et al aims to identify the learning needs of care home residents and those who care for them. In Wales, 'All Together Now' described by Andrews et al aims to create a more holistic and participative approach to assessment and care management for older people in Swansea. Lastly, Williams et al consider the differences in experiences of frail older people discharged from surgical, medical and elderly care wards. In the latter setting, nurses have much more of an understanding and recognise their older patients' needs, treating them as "people" and not just as "patients". (RH). |
