Relaying in Diabetes SG and Porsorsai for #ShinglesAwarenessWeek

Across Europe, there is poor knowledge of shingles as a disease. People don't know where it comes from, how severe it can be, or when they're most at risk for developing an infection. Read more about our work on shingles: ilcuk.org.uk/painfully-unaw… #ShinglesAwarenessWeek

It's #ShinglesAwarenessWeek. Ageing populations are at greater risk for the disease and governments must do more to protect people. Read our work on shingles here: ilcuk.org.uk/painfully-unaw… Relaying in @worldheartfed and Alliance for Renal Patients (ARPMHA)

Last week, the Isle of Man came close to defusing a pensions timebomb. Like the UK, the island has a pensions triple lock. Plans to drop it for some pensioners were dropped for now, following a backlash. Here’s why it’s relevant to the UK. A🧵 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Ageism: older people are much less likely to seek help for depression, in part due to clinicians' preconceptions. Older people's mental health far too often seen as an afterthought in public policy and research (International Longevity Centre UK Report) @olderp

Our new #MindTheAgeGap report finds that: 🟢 Ageism reduces older people's access to #MentalHealth services 🟢 A person loses 7.2 days a year to poor #MentalHealth 🟢 4.2% of GDP is lost to #MentalHealth conditions across the @OECD Read the report 👇 ilcuk.org.uk/mind-the-age-g…

And that's a wrap! We've come to the end of this year's #FutureOfAgeing conference, with @sinclairda closing the day. A huge thank you to all who attended, to all who have supported, and to our sponsors @CLScohorts @actuarynews @Homeinsteaduk @traverssmith @UKRI_News

We’re delighted to have @AndyBurnhamGM, @MayorofGM as our keynote speaker today. As a leading voice on ageing, Andy shares his pioneering ideas on how we can and should use public money to support living well, particularly across our long lives. #FutureofAgeing

Breakout sessions giving us an experiential understanding of ageing: - Touring @Homeinsteaduk's Dementia Bus - Birth cohorts & inclusive ageing by @CLScohorts - Value of play across long lives by Climate Play - Could commonhold help with later living @traverssmith #FutureofAgeing

Great to hear Sarah Walker from @traverssmith asking if the re-introduction of commonhold can deliver better outcomes for later living @ILCUK #FutureOfAgeing

Hosted by our very own @PaulGoulden with our panellists: @UniOfYork @ZoeGarbett @CityHallGreens @LondonAssembly @FutureMen_UK @JudithBanjoko @Shelter @_CynthiaBullock @UKRI_News @mhclg

Kicking off our afternoon sessions, with our largest panel of speakers for the day who answer an important question: How can we build spaces and communities that fit the needs of our ageing society? Our thanks to @UKRI_News for sponsoring this session #FutureofAgeing

Great to interview @MartinHI_UK on the future of care at home - ultimately we need a big and honest conversation about what ageing and care needs to look like!

Inequalities in wealth, skills, and opportunities are barriers to better work across longer lives. The panel are sharing their perspectives, and policy recommendations, on how we can upskill and better prepare for longer, and evolving careers. #FutureofAgeing

Our Skills session is kicking off, with panellists Will Snell from @fairnessfdn, @MattForshaw from @turinginst, Kate Ambrosi from @BakerDearing, Jon Collins from @PrisonersEd, and once again @GeorgePloubidis from session sponsor @CLScohorts
