Age-attuned Hospice care
An opportunity to better end of life care for older people
Report by Caroline Nicholson and Heather Richardson
“This document is a “call to arms” to the Hospice movement to recognise that there are a large group of people who currently are denied palliative care…This is a very timely publication. The challenge to us all is to reflect and then act to improve care for our frail older patients.”
Dr Eileen Burns
President of the British Geriatric Society, Consultant in Older People’s Medicine
