| Annotation | This book provides a profile of all aspects of the care of older people in the community in the UK, focusing on primary care, with an emphasis on the importance of maintaining function and independence as well as health. It reviews the case for and against anticipatory care of older people, and gives advice on the organisation of a programme to meet the requirements under the 1990 general practice contract which required primary care teams to offer an annual check-up to patients aged 75 years or more. Specific topics covered include: biology of ageing; physical and mental disease in older patients; prescribing; nutrition; screening; health promotion and physical exercise; community nursing and primary care; institutional care in the community; disability and rehabilitation; law and the older patient; medical ethics in community care; older people in ethnic minority groups; taking the Diploma in Geriatric Medicine; and the perspectives of carers. |
