Recenzii

'It's a privilege to care for those who once cared for us. Geriatric Emergency Medicine is a core of all our emergency departments (EDs) and for decades we have worked hard to make these more age appropriate, friendlier environments for children. Drs Schumacher and Melady ask us all to do the same for older people, offering practical tips, international examples as well as simple solutions that we have no excuse but to follow. For me, it's the relationships that we form with older people and their families by simply asking them what they are worried about or what they would like that brings me joy every day I work in the ED.' Carolyn Hullick, Emergency Physician, Belmont Hospital, Australia Chair, Geriatric Emergency Medicine Special Interest Group, International Federation of Emergency Medicine Clinical Director, Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Healthcare
