title: Speaking out.
abstract: DAVID OLIVER has been liberated. As a former national clinical director for older people's services, he adapted to the limitations imposed on clinicians who take on a government role. Now, though, he is free to speak his mind and does so frequently online and in print, often pointing out the contradictions and inconsistencies in the way older people's care is organised - or, in some cases, disorganised.
