| Popis: | Continuing care settings cater for some of the most disabled individuals. Their care can often present major ethical dilemmas; teams involved in such care require a broad range of skills. We illustrate this with a challenging case history and discuss specific dilemmas, including investigation and treatment in the absence of specific consent and advance directives. We suggest that continuing care should be recognised as a valuable component of training in geriatric medicine. |
