| Annotation | This paper reports on a survey conducted within North Wales regarding the perceptions of older people on dignity in care issues in the services they received. Designed and delivered by the North Wales Dignity in Care Forum, the survey asked the question: what one change today could make a difference to you tomorrow? National Health Service and local authority organisations participated in the survey. In total 499 responses were received. Some key themes were identified, particularly relating to keeping independence, individual respect and personal care. National Health Service and local authority responses had some differences. In spite of the survey's overall limitations (eg. an absence of demographic data, an open sampling frame) it shows the value of a rapid and simple method of collecting information from older people accessing services. Findings may help in taking forward new models of working for older people, especially the most vulnerable. (JL). |
