    AbstractThe proportion of older people in society is growing steadily. This particular group is more likely to be admitted to hospital and a number of papers have highlighted the inadequate or inappropriate assessment and management of their pain, particularly in the perioperative period. Pain relief is possible for the majority of people. This paper aims to give an overview of the assessment and management of pain in older people.
