title: The feasibility and acceptability of a specialist health and social care team for the promotion of health and independence in 'at risk' older adults.
abstract: This paper highlights the need for a multiagency partnership that brings together health, social services and Age Concern to promote the health and well-being of older people who have been designated to be 'at risk' by their GP. It also identifies problems caused by the lack of managerial expertise in collaborative working. The paper suggests that for innovations to succeed this needs to be addressed.
