| Annotation | Six briefing papers explore topics relevant to supporting and improving people's health and well-being as they grow old in the UK. The topics covered are: older people and the social determinants of health; health and social care services that support the needs of older people; older people's mental health and well-being; living with long term conditions; the perception of ageing and age discrimination; and supporting carers. Each paper presents evidence and makes recommendations regarding the roles and responsibilities of medical professionals in their treatment and interactions with older people. The papers are published under the auspices of the BMA Board of Science. (RH). |
