Ageing populations mean that palliative and end of life care for older people must        assume greater priority. Indeed, there is an urgent need to improve the experiences        of older people at the end of life, given that they have been identified as the        'disadvantaged dying'. To date, models of care are underpinned by the ideals of        specialist palliative care which were developed to meet the needs of predominantly        middle-aged and 'young old' people, and evidence suggests these may not beadequate        for the older population group.This book identifies ways forward for improving the        end of life experiences of older people by taking an interdisciplinary and        international approach. Providing a synergy between the currently disparate        literature of gerontology and palliative care, a wide range of leading international        experts contribute to discussions regarding priority areas in relation to ageing and        end of life care. Some authors take a theoretical focus, others a very practical        approach rooted in their clinical andresearch experience. The issues covered are        diverse, as are the countries in which discussions are contextualised. Those working        in both palliative care and gerontology will find the issues and advice discussed in        this book hugely topical and of real practical value.
