| Annotation | This article explores a clinician's perspective on the shared integrated care of older people with dementia or frailty, and describes the significance and value of dignity, kindness and compassion in care. It presents a general review of current policy, research and good practice, amplified from a clinical perspective. The key components of effective integrated care are shared knowledge, understanding, training and support. Equally important are shared objectives, leadership, and governance. This confirms that comprehensive geriatric assessment, as well as working with individuals and their families, must underpin all integrated, humane and effective care for older vulnerable people.
