She has a consistent record of publication of articles of national and international status and is invited to present her work at national and international nursing and multidisciplinary conferences, including the World Pain congress. She has presented in three continents during the last 2 years.  Epidemiology of pain in the older person is not a subject that has been widely studied in the past, although it has been suggested that almost half of older people in the community suffer with significant pain. This is a major problem within society and with the aging population it is likely that the incidence of pain in this group will continue to rise. There are currently no UK publications that focus specifically upon the needs of the older person in pain. This book will empower individuals who are working with this group to enable them to deal with pain more effectively.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Management of Pain in the Older Person\u003c\/i\u003e will enable the reader to understand the principals underpinning the management of pain, with a particular emphasis upon the care of the older person.
