THE AGEING PROCESS

AIMS:

Current statistical figures indicate that there is an ageing population and that it is rising. It is estimated that by 2006, there will be more people of retirement age than working. There are increasing numbers of elderly users requiring care and/or medical treatment. This has implications for service delivery and the provision of care services. The programme will enable participants to share a common understanding of what the ageing process is and to explore the range of issues concerning ageing.

• Examined and discussed the role and function of Care staff and best practice guidelines of working with the elderly
