New year, new resolve.
This year is set to become the year that focuses on dignity in care for older people. In 2005 reports of undignified care in television documentaries and in letters from concerned families to the RCN and Age Concern gave a strong signal that much remains to be done. We know that nurses have made huge progress in developing person-centred services, but the challenge that remains is ensuring that every older person has a positive nursing experience whenever they need it and wherever they receive it.
