Article Abstract

The number of people aged 85 and over is set to increase by two-thirds in the next 20 years, making it imperative that appropriate structures are in place and guidance is available for clinicians in every setting on best practice in caring for older people over the first 24 hours of an urgent care episode. This article discusses the launch of the Silver Book, which recommends ways in which emergency admissions can be reduced and the experience of those admitted improved.
