Nursing Older People is the leading specialist journal for nurses who care for older people across a range of health and social care settings.

It publishes original research, clinical and policy updates, descriptions of practice, audits, service evaluations, literature reviews, case studies and shorter opinion articles.

It also publishes continuing professional development articles to inform, support and educate nurses working in this specialty, and to help them prepare for revalidation.

If you have an idea for an article or how to develop the journal online or in print, the editorial team want to hear from you. We are particularly interested in the following areas:

• Communication
• Dementia
• Frailty
• Healthy ageing
• Mental health
• Workforce
