[Decision making in frail patients with a hip fracture].

Background: When an older patient presents herself at the emergency department with a femur fracture different doctors are involved: the geriatrician, the orthopaedic or trauma- surgeon and the anaesthesiologist. Together they form an ad hoc team and are in charge of organising the best medical care for the patient.

Case Description: In this case description we present a patient with cardiovascular comorbidity and dementia.

Components and Outcomes in Under- and Postgraduate Medical Education to Prepare for the Delivery of Integrated Care for the Elderly: A Scoping Review.

Introduction: The ageing society requires physicians who can deliver integrated care, but it is unclear how they should be prepared for doing so. This scoping review aims to create an overview of educational programmes that prepare (future) physicians to deliver integrated care while addressing components and outcomes of the interventions.

Method: We included papers from five databases that contained: (1) integrated care (2) education programme (3) medical students (4) elderly, or synonyms.

Designing the learning of intraprofessional collaboration among medical residents.

Background: To preserve quality and continuity of care, collaboration between primary-care and secondary-care physicians is becoming increasingly important. Therefore, learning intraprofessional collaboration (intraPC) requires explicit attention during postgraduate training. Hospital placements provide opportunities for intraPC learning, but these opportunities require interventions to support and enhance such learning.

ESPEN practical guideline: Clinical nutrition and hydration in geriatrics.

Background: Malnutrition and dehydration are widespread in older people, and obesity is an increasing problem. In clinical practice, it is often unclear which strategies are suitable and effective in counteracting these key health threats.

Aim: To provide evidence-based recommendations for clinical nutrition and hydration in older persons in order to prevent and/or treat malnutrition and dehydration.

Exploring power dynamics and their impact on intraprofessional learning.

Background: During postgraduate training, considerable efforts for intraprofessional education are in place to prepare primary care residents (PC residents) and medical specialty residents (MS residents) for intraprofessional collaboration (intraPC). Power dynamics are inherently present in such hierarchical medical contexts. This affects intraPC (learning).
