Older People's Commissioner launches 'GP Practices in Wales: A Guide for Older People'

The Older People's Commissioner for Wales has launched a new guide which explains what you can expect from your GP practice, your rights, and what to do if you are experiencing difficulties.

This follows a report produced earlier this year by the commissioner which revealed the problems that many older people are experiencing in accessing GP services. The new guide makes reference to the needs of people with sensory loss, and states that GP practices in Wales must capture, record, highlight and share their communication needs.
