Growing old together: Sharing new ways to support older people The Commission on Improving Urgent Care for Older People was launched in March 2015.
The aim of the Commission was to produce guidance for people involved in designing care for older people.
The background to the Commission is a concern that the care system is increasingly ill adapted to the needs of older people and particularly those with long-term conditions and/or frailty. This can lead to a lower quality of care for older people and also impact on the ability of the system to care for all patients. Issues include a lack of out-of-hospital services as an alternative to A&E, not enough focus on prevention and early intervention, delayed transfers of care, and the need to take a holistic view of people’s health and wellbeing and provide solutions which meet their needs.
