What older patients value in nursing.
This article reviews some of the literature considered to have had an impact on the provision of nursing services for older people in continuing care settings. It focuses on the skill and value of nursing, the patient-nurse relationship, and studies of consumer satisfaction carried out in NHS wards and nursing homes.

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.
