This guidance is aimed at working nurses, but also has implications for pre- and post- registration education and training, and can be used as employers as a benchmark for delivery. Carers and other healthcare professionals may also find this guidance useful and relevant to their work. The guidance asks nurses to challenge negative attitudes to older people; promote a healthy lifestyle for older people; value and respect older people as individuals; be mindful of older people’s dignity; show kindness and compassion in their behaviour; communicate effectively and respectfully; and be committed to equality and diversity.
