Elder abuse
— do we know enough to provide advice and guidance to GPs? | | Author(s) | Anthea Tinker, Claudine McCreadie, Gerry Bennett |

| Pages | pp 12-13 |
| Keywords | Elder abuse ; General practitioners ; In-service training. |
| Annotation | General practitioners (GPs) are the key people in the primary identification of elder abuse. Whilst guidance is now available to social workers, very little is available for GPs. The authors give an outline of their research project, funded by the King's Fund, to investigate GPs' knowledge, experience, their views on training, and aspects of their response to the problem of elder abuse. The authors would welcome any examples of policies, procedures and training that health authorities have given to GPs. |
