title: Caring for older people through the National Service Framework.
abstract: The National Service Framework for older people could be described as the most important of the Government's frameworks because it covers the greatest number of people. This paper summarises key aspects of the NSF's eight standards for caring for older people and discusses the implications for nursing practice in hospitals, residential care homes and the community.
