Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is a standard text and reference source for students and practitioners in the area of elderly nursing. It has been the comprehensive text of choice in its previous editions. The new third edition has been reorganised, expanded and largely rewritten following changes in the structure and delivery of health and social services. The change in title reflects the changing attitudes and terminology in this growing field.
