What palliative care can learn from geriatric medicine (2019)
Journal Article
Enguell, H., & Harwood, R. H. (2019). What palliative care can learn from geriatric medicine. British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 80(2), 86-90. https://doi.org/10.12968/hmed.2019.80.2.86

Most people die when they are old, with multiple pathologies, and while living with frailty or dementia. These circumstances need the specialist skills of geriatric medicine. Death may not be unexpected, but survival and restoration of function are u... Read More about What palliative care can learn from geriatric medicine.
