Increases in population age, dementia and frailty are driving new care models and workforce development.
The Older Person's Nurse Fellowship is an innovative programme extending gerontologic nursing models.
Older people's quality of life, Fellows networking and confidence to challenge characterise the OPNF.
Leadership and commitment to person-centred evidence-based care are central to the OPNF ethos.
Sustained, high level commitment will enable older people's nursing achieve its full potential.
