Abstract
A scheme attaching social workers to general practices to improve services for older people is thought to have cut delays and increased communication between social services and primary care. The engagement of practice managers is key to the success of the venture. Seeing a social worker in general practice is thought to lessen the stigma some older people feel about referral to social services.
