Summary
Home and virtual care have become increasingly common for elderly Australians, helping free up hospital beds while keeping patients more comfortable. Recently, a Breakfast listener got in touch to tell us about her 92-year-old mother - and how she was able to avoid a hospital stay thanks to an Aged Care Rapid Response Team based out of Royal North Shore and Ryde hospitals in Sydney. Long-time geriatrician Dr James Hardy is the creator of that team. Guest: Dr James Hardy, geriatrician and the head of the Aged Care Department at the Royal North Shore Hospital, creator of the Aged Care Rapid Response team.
