Abstract
The theme of this issue of The Senior Care Pharmacist is complexity of the older patient. As a clinical pharmacologist working in the Australian health care system, I see the vital role of pharmacists in the management of complexity in older patients, and I imagine that there are similar potential contributions in other health care systems. The terms complicated and complex are frequently used interchangeably, but they imply distinct entities and understandings.
