New report into care and the elderly

A new NHS report called 'Delivering Dignity' has been released today and unsurprisingly has been garnering quite a bit of press. It's an investigation looking at how the elderly are being treated in both hospital and care home settings. I expect you'll be more interested in the care home side of things, although I shouldn't make assumptions.

Anyway, the report is available from here but bear in mind this is just an interim version. When the full version is published I'll be sure to share it with you.

Finally, if you are working on any assignments relating to the elderly as a vulnerable group in society (hint, hint)  this may be particularly useful new piece of new research to use.
