133 Prospective Audit of Adherence to Current Guidelines for Urinary Catheterisation on a Dedicated Geriatric ward in a Tertiary Hospital
ConclusionAlthough this audit represents a small cohort, the results demonstrate a high rate of urinary catheter insertion without adequate indication. This audit should be repeated using a larger sample size. Appropriate education at ward level and with admitting NCHDs about: appropriate catheterisation practice should be performed with a view to re-auditing subsequently. Update of current guidelines is warranted.

Geriatric medicine has an encyclopaedic sweep, reflecting the complexity of both the ageing process and of our patient group. Keeping up with, and making sense of, the relevant scientific literature is challenging, especially as ageing has increased in prominence as a focus of research across many branches of the sciences and the humanities. This review of research published in 2012 in generalist, geriatric medicine and gerontology journals has been compiled with a view to extracting those aspects of research into ageing which could be considered relevant not only to the practice of geriatric medicine, but also to our unde...
