| Keywords | Elder abuse ; At risk ; Care homes ; Nursing homes ; General practitioners ; Care home staff. |
| Annotation | GPs are uniquely qualified to become aware of poor and abusive care or directly abusive episodes, and are uniquely protected (via their professional and organisational bodies) following disclosure. Individual members of care staff can find the whistleblowing experience difficult to cope with. However, the organisations Public Concern at Work, and Action of Elder Abuse, exist to help all individuals. |
