Older people participating
A number of local councils have ‘Beacon status’ (that means the government has decided they are an example to us all) for ‘positive engagement of older people to support and promote greater independence and well-being in later life’; there are four case studies on the Idea website which show what they did. We could all learn from this, including palliative care organisations, because we should all be encouraging older people to change our services for the better.
