三分之二需要急性住院治疗的患者年龄超过65岁。老年人对医疗和社会护理的需求也更大（卫生署，2001年）。因此，在普通病房由护士照顾的病人大多数是老年人也就不足为奇了。至关重要的是，在所有病房环境中照顾病人的卫生专业人员必须具备照顾老年人复杂需求的知识和技能。本文介绍了在东和北赫特福德郡NHS信托进行的一个项目，以解决老年人的综合医院护理方面。
Two-thirds of patients requiring inpatient acute hospital care are aged over 65. Older people also have a greater need for the use of health and social care (Department of Health (DH) 2001). It is therefore no surprise that the majority of patients cared for by nurses care in general wards are older people. It is vital that health professionals caring for patients, in all ward settings, have the knowledge and skills to care for the complex needs of older people. This article describes a project carried out at East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, to address aspects of general hospital care for older people.
