If you are an older person in
receipt of care or a carer of an older person who has been in hospital your views are important in this new
research.
Caroline is inviting both older
people who have been in hospital and are reliant on some help from others to
keep house and care for themselves - (called living with frailty by some), and
those who help in that care to be part
of a postal questionnaire.
This questionnaire, over up
to three rounds to a group of people with interest and experience in the care
of older people, will help determine what are the important considerations in
providing supportive care for older people while in hospitals. Supportive care
is concerned with comfort and includes emotional, social and spiritual needs as
well as physical needs.
If
you would be interested in taking part, please contact
