Results: The participants described the importance of having a nurse-led geriatric clinic. To have one nurse who knows the patients and their history, captures their needs and helps to organize the care is appreciated. Conclusions: The result indicates that if the nurses’ care in the geriatric clinic is person-centred and based on patients’ experience, improvement can be made. A permanent contact brings continuity, security and makes the patients feel taken care of. (Less)
