On Wednesday 26th January 2022, we held our 6th Live Longer Better National Thought Leadership Event, welcoming nearly 300 delegates – a total of over 1500 attendees from all sectors to our national events to date.
Colleagues attending represented a variety of sectors including health, Age UK, housing, local government, Age UK and leisure providers.
Our excellent speakers told us how we can now focus on enabling reconditioning to significantly reduce pressure on our health and care systems, by preventing, delaying, slowing and reversing frailty and dementia, by increasing activity – physical, cognitive and emotional. And by focusing now on positive ageing – a longevity society – we can concentrate on more time ahead to age differently. Such inspirational speakers!
