More of us are living longer with the implications of old age in an unforgiving society, and times are getting harder.
  • How do we ensure quality of life in later years when we face another significant period of belt-tightening?
  • Where would be best for older people to live in the 21st century and how do we help them gain more for less?
  • How can barriers between the sectors working with older people be broken? How can technology help?

The morning sessions will provide the opportunity to hear from leading contributors in the field. However, during the afternoon sessions delegates will be able to gather examples of best practice models with the aim of working with each other to develop a personal action plan.

Key themes
• Personalisation
• Changing support service models in sheltered housing: challenges and solutions
• Creative use of resources eg Supporting People
• Different approaches to delivering services and encouraging innovation.
