Published by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC, UK) in 2009, this guidance establishes principles for best practice in the care of older people in all settings where nursing care is provided, in both community and hospital settings. It includes guidance for patients detailing the type of care they can, and should, expect to receive. It can also be used as a tool to challenge poor standards of care and provides employers with a set of principles to judge performance against. The guidance is for all nurses, specialist community public health nurses and midwives.
