Philp (2003) outlined the fundamental role that occupational therapists could have in implementing the National Service Framework (NSF) for Older People and reforming services for older people (Department of Health 2001). A research project was undertaken, which aimed to investigate the views of occupational therapists about the implementation of the policy in order to identify the key areas and issues that have had an impact on practice. The research design was qualitative and took the form of focus groups. The focus group data were analysed using a long-table analysis method (Krueger and Casey 2000), which identified five key themes: a raised profile of older people's services, a changing delivery of services, a revisiting of occupational therapy core skills, assessment and resource allocation. The emerging themes suggested that the NSF for Older People has had an impact on the practice of the occupational therapists involved in the focus groups.
