Care must be delivered by staff who put the individual at the centre by listening to them and or their relatives.

Vulnerable older people deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, humanity and compassion.

Dignity and respect is everybody's responsibility.

The aim of this guidance is to support clinicians and others in considering needs and providing high quality care for frail older people as they move towards the end of their lives.

In 2014, the BGS published Fit for Frailty, which provided advice about actions to prevent these adverse outcomes and help people live as well as possible with frailty.

Our 'fun-guarding' initiative highlights some issues, ideas and examples in ensuring older people's need for enjoyment is protected and prioritised in care settings.

Our Integrated Systems project brings together top tips, template job descriptions, video conversations between those who have been there and those who are learning, and blog posts sharing experiences. 

In this blueprint we set out system touchpoints and actions for high-quality integrated care for older people. 

In this blueprint we set out seven system touchpoints and outcomes that should be considered when planning and commissioning health and social care for older people, alongside 12 actions that systems should take to create the conditions for high-quality integrated care for older people. 

The Royal College of Nursing has kindly allowed the British Geriatrics Society to publish its Practice Questions relating to nursing older people. This series can be viewed by members of the British Geriatrics Society.
