Older Adults' Experiences and Expectations of Doctor–Patient Interactions During Early Hospital Care

The study design and interview guide were shaped by feedback from a patient and public involvement (PPI) workshop, which informed the interview process. Study findings were also shared with a PPI panel, whose insights were incorporated into this manuscript. As part of a larger research program, these findings will contribute to the co-design of educational interventions aimed at improving health professionals' assessment and management of older hospital patients.
