The care of older people is a complex and skilled. Carers in both hospital and community settings need to be knowledgeable, flexible and positive in their interventions. It is essential to underpin this holistic approach with an insight into the relationships between the client's individual needs and the attitudes and resources that currently exist within Northern Ireland. The workshop objectives are based on the idea that care of older people needs to be holistic with more insight into the concept of the ageing as defined within the 21st Century. This course is suitable for any healthcare professional who is involved in meeting the full range of needs of older people in a variety of care settings. It will be delivered by Shirley Johnston, nurse educator and Open University Practice Tutor.
