Improving Psychiatric Care for Older People
Barbara Robb’s Campaign 1965-1975
Claire Hilton
History / Europe / Great Britain / General
Explores the influence of AEGIS as a pressure group in improving care for older people in psychiatric hospitals, unlike other histories that attribute these improvements to the government
Offers a much-needed account of the experiences of older women, and other vulnerable people, on psychiatric wards
Highlights the ongoing relevance of AEGIS’s campaign today and how this history can inform current debate on chronic care for older people
Claire Hilton has been a National Health Service psychiatrist in London, UK, for 18 years. Her research has ranged from mental health of young people with sickle cell disease in Jamaica to clinical and historical aspects of old age psychiatry with a particular interest in the interface between history, policy and practice.
