title: An NHS fit for purpose?
abstract: When I first started looking after older people, the average patient was 30 or 40 years older than I was. Almost 30 years later, the average patient is still 30-40 years older than I am. Have I discovered the fountain of eternal youth? No, but perhaps I should ask my patients where it is.
