The contribution of expert gerontological nursing.
In many ways, the key to the future development of gerontological nursing lies in preventing aspects of its history from becoming the focus of nursing in the future. This article discusses the nursing contribution to the development of person-centred care services and highlights the historical context of gerontological nursing and the reasons why current developmental challenges exist. The authors illustrate examples of good practice and new opportunities for the development of expert practice.

Long-term health care and the ethics of the marketplace.

For society to be seen as fair, the principle that no one should be disadvantaged because of circumstances over which they have little control-of which age is surely one-must be reinstated at the heart of the NHS.
