Dignity in Practice: An exploration of the care of older adults in acute NHS Trusts
An Exploration of the Care of Older Adults in Acute NHS Trusts Funded by the NIHR Service Delivery and Organisation;
Winifred Tadd, Cardiff University, in collaboration with the University of Kent
Evidence from a number of recent national reports show marked variations in the level and provision of dignified care for older people in acute hospital Trusts. Lack of dignity results in many complaints and substantial media interest. There is also evidence that positive health and social outcomes result from ensuring patients receive dignified care.
