Health, well-being and older people

Jan Reed (Centre for Care of Older People, Northumbria University),David Stanley (Centre for Care of Older People, Northumbria University),Charlotte Clarke (School of Health, Community and Education Studies, Northumbria University)

In an ageing society, the health and well-being of older people has become a primary focus of concern for government, policy makers and practitioners. With moves towards greater integration of health and social care services, there is a need for improved understanding of the importance and benefits of a person-centred, holistic approach to work in these fields.

This accessible text, the produce of a collaborative venture between older people’s groups and academics, provides students, academics and practitioners across a wide range of health and social care professions, including, nursing, social work, social care and gerontology, with a guide to understanding the value of this approach.
