A guide dedicated to supporting older people in South Nottinghamshire with their health and wellbeing has been rolled out across health and care settings in South Nottinghamshire.
The guide was the brainchild of local GP Caroline White, who over the last 18 months has been supported by the Phoenix Programme to develop and write it, latterly with help from the South Nottinghamshire Place-Based Partnership.
She says: “I created this resource to support colleagues across health and care in South Nottinghamshire in their care of older people. It has been carefully written in patient friendly language and has lots of information focusing on maintaining health and independence in older age, seeking support and care planning.
“The content in the booklet has been co-produced with patient groups, community and hospital colleagues and I am delighted that I am now able to share it more widely.”
This guide is now available at GP practices and other community settings in South Nottinghamshire, but you can also download it below.
