Abstract
The onset of winter is the time when many voluntary agencies begin their campaigns regarding the dangers of the cold upon the elderly population. It is also the time when accident and emergency nurses treat the highest proportion of such people presenting in various degrees of accidental hypothermia. This article outlines the care required and highlights the health education advice needed to minimize the problem.Keywords
