Quality care for older people with urgent care needs
Welcome to the Silver Book II, written by leading international experts in frailty and hosted by the British Geriatrics Society.
The Silver Book II addresses a wide range of urgent care issues specific to older people. Aimed at clinicians and other healthcare professionals working in emergency departments and urgent care, this updated resource is presented in a highly accessible digital format and is free of charge.
Written by clinicians for clinicians, we hope this resource will be of help and perhaps some inspiration to colleagues supporting the care of older people with urgent care needs across the world.”
