Best Practice Statement
About this Best Practice Statement
The best practice statement on Working with Dependent Older People towards promoting movement and physical activity is intended to serve primarily as a guide to good practice and promote a consistent and cohesive approach to care. The statement is intended to be realistic but stretching, and can be used in a variety of ways, including:
- as a basis for developing and improving the care that nurses give to older people
- to stimulate learning among teams of nurses
- to promote effective interdisciplinary teamworking
- to determine whether a quality service is being provided
- to stimulate ideas and priorities for nursing research.
