This new edition of the Oxford Handbook in Geriatric Medicine has
been expanded and updated to reflect the substantial changes in
clinical practice since the previous edition, including the Francis
report and the impact on care for the older patient, the National
Dementia Strategy and screening, and the evolution of the role of
Geriatricians in other specialities. It includes new material on
risk scoring management of TIA, and a new chapter on the older
surgical patient. With an ageing population, geriatric medicine is
increasingly central to emergency and internal medicine in hospital
settings and in general practice. Diseases are more common in the
older person, and can be particularly difficult to assess and to
treat effectively in a field that has limited evidence, yet makes
up a substantial proportion of the work of most clinicians. Using
clinical vignettes and how-to boxes to provide practical advice on
common problems, this is a practical, accessible, and essential
handbook for all medical staff who manage older patients.
