I am an Advanced Nurse Practitioner in Elderly Care at the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh.\u00a0 I am acutely aware that elderly patient\u2019s are not always treated as a specialist group.\u00a0 We have physiological changes as we grow older and these impact on our ability to cope with physical and psychological issues.\u00a0 Although some people cope very well into old age without requiring specific help\/care there is a large number who do not and I would hope some of this work would help identify their needs and\/or showcase existing best practice.<\/p>\n

Through my practice, I have become aware of a perceived gap in the availability of validated tools to support general nurses in their assessment and care of the elderly patient. I am interested in nurse\u2019s general knowledge of the medical specialty of Elderly Care.\u00a0 In particular, I focus on the use of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) to identify issues within the elderly patient group.\u00a0 It looks at medical, function, psychological and environmental issues. I aim to examine nurses\u2019 knowledge of this tool and to support their knowledge of Elderly Care through a prompt care or poster.<\/p>\n
