In this podcast we discuss how GPs and Allied Health Professionals can reduce the negative impact of loneliness on the mental health of older patients. Loneliness in older people is emerging as one of the most significant issues experienced, and with the emergence of COVID-19 the risk of loneliness has continued to increase. Loneliness is linked to poor physical health and mental ill-health.
