Community Health Profile (65+) Glasgow City, 2014

Medication is by far the most common form of medical intervention.

A quarter of the population in Scotland is taking four or more drugs and most of these patients are over 50 years old. In Glasgow this figure is higher.

Adverse reactions to drugs are a factor in 5-17% of hospital admissions of older people

Power of attorney is for when you are still here. If you are in hospital or a care environment or even your own home, no one can act for you – pay bills, manage your welfare or make key decisions unless you have made your plan.

Think and act now: If ill health or an accident means you can’t make decisions for yourself, who do you want to make them for you?
