Caring for Frail Older People on Acute Hospital Wards (CFFOP)
This RLO uses data from recent research into the care of patients dying on acute hospital wards to explore some of the issues about how patients and carers experience death in hospital.
CFFOP was a three year study funded by the Alzheimer’s Society. It took place on 4 acute wards of a UK general hospital: Oak, Ash, Elm and Fir, and was based on:
- 245 hours of ward observation
- 38 interviews with ward staff
- 13 interviews with bereaved family carers
- 42 patient case record reviews.
