'Factors affecting services offered to older adults with psychological morbidity: an exploration of health professional attitudes'.

Clinicians across healthcare settings are uniquely placed to identity psychological morbidity in older patients and make appropriate referrals for support. Management and referral making for older patients with psychological morbidity can be enhanced by routine education for clinicians and the introduction of clinical pathways. This has potential to improve management of psychological morbidity; however, evaluation of impact on patient outcome is required. Specifically, there is a need for greater access for counselling services.
