Encopresis: the Mess that doesn't Go Away

A seminar entitled ‘Aged in Society: a Look to the Future’ (organised by Phillip Institute of Technology School of Nursing Centre for Continuing Education, March 1988) is interpreted in a personal way, by an ageing member of society and a worker in aged care.

The need to examine our attitudes to old age, retirement, disability and dependence, as well as our relationship patterns, and change them where necessary is outlined. Our health depends partly on ourselves. It is up to us to keep informed on all aged services and to influence their development, as voters, members of organisations, or as professionals working in that field.
