This book is part of the Transforming Nursing Practice series,
written specifically to support nursing students on the new degree
programme.
As medical advances become more sophisticated, average life
expectancies continue to grow. This presents significant challenges
to the healthcare system, and caring for older people is now the
concern of every nurse. This book aims to help you understand how
to care for older people in any care setting. It uniquely focuses
on person-centred, humanised care in addition to physical care,
helping you to examine attitudes towards older people in healthcare
and combat negative stereotypes. The book takes a positive stance
on ageing, celebrating the fact that in the Western world we live
longer and healthier with a focus on the wellbeing of the
individual.

- Easy-to-read introduction written specifically for nursing
students, with a chapter on making the most of your placements with
older people
- Theory is linked to practice through case studies and
scenarios, and shows the lived experiences of the older person
- Linked to the latest NMC Standards and Essential Skills
Clusters for degree-level education
