title: Working together for the care of elderly people.
abstract: Meeting the community care needs of elderly people at home requires close co-ordination of health and social services input. Social worker Jonathan Monks and health visitor Lou Illesley report on how they work together to plan and deliver effective packages of care to elderly people registered with the GP practice to which they are both attached.
