    I had a placement in Geratology, neurosciences with a head injury specialist Nurse and trauma outpatients but like i said in trauma there were alot of patients not coming back for a follow up (DNAs) and the loads of ftactures of the distal radius.but then how do i come up with a question with those 2 issues i gathered from my placement.

    Thank you so much for the reply.

    There's quite a bit that you could look at.

    From brain injuries

    The impact of a minor head injury and links to mental health

    The role of the MDT in managing complex brain injuries

    Assessment and management of prolonged disorders of consciousness

    Elderly care

    Impact of sensory loss on falls in the elderly

    The impact of hearing loss on the hospitalised older person

    The impact of a hospital admission in the frail older person

    Continence and the older person

    How's that for a start
