Trauma in older adults – Clinical Practice Framework

The Queensland Dementia, Ageing and Frailty Clinical Network in collaboration with the Queensland Trauma Clinical Network, have developed this new resource for the management of trauma in older adults in the Queensland Health setting. This Clinical Practice Framework – Trauma in older adults describes core principles for the management of traumatic injuries in older adults who present to Queensland Health Hospital and Health Services, including rural and remote facilities. These principles aim to assist clinicians to optimally care for older adults who present with trauma and to ensure continued improvements in their care, processes, outcomes, and experiences.
