Description
Geriatric care and the complexities of old age can sometimes be reduced to a single metric, rather than an individual's unique needs and experiences. Dr Riaz Dharamshi draws on his expertise as a geriatrician to offer a more nuanced approach to caring for our elderly population.
This book reframes the way we think about care for older adults, highlighting the importance of empathy and humanity in the face of frailty and illness. By exploring theoretical discussions around death and old age, Dharamshi sheds light on how social and political factors can impact healthcare outcomes decades earlier.
Through a practical lens, Dharamshi presents an integrated model of care that prioritises personalised healthcare within communities and hospitals alike. This approach imbues meaning, purpose, and justice into the work of geriatric medicine and care, encouraging us to ask: who is the person receiving this care?
