AnnotationThis toolkit has been developed by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) to help support a review of staffing on hospital wards where older people are cared for. The starting point was a recognition that older people in hospital often have highly complex needs which require skilled care and enough time to meet their needs in a dignified way. The toolkit aims to provide a simple, practical way to explore nursing staff levels on older people's wards, or wards where the large majority of patients are older people, and to determine whether they meet the RCN recommendations for safe care.
