SUMMARY:Previous Webinar: “Ageing with Dignity” on Monday 21st June 2021 @ 6 – 7:30 pm (BST)
DESCRIPTION:Hume Institute for Postgraduate Studies\, Lausanne\nand the School of Medicine\, University of Bolton\,\nare delighted to invite you to a webinar entitled:\n“Ageing with Dignity” \nThe world population is ageing because of a falling birth rate and an improved life\nexpectancy: knowing this has not helped governments develop sustainable health and care\npolicies. The underlying causes and impacts of population ageing remain poorly understood.\nPlanning\, using population age structure alone\, does not account for uneven geographical\ndistribution of older people\, their health characteristics\, functional needs or lived experiences.\nDespite society becoming more successful at protecting characteristics\, such as gender\,\nrace\, ability\, relationships\, religion and beliefs\, we continue to struggle with ageing; the most\nfundamental characteristic of being human. This has the potential to impact adversely\, not\njust on personal health and wellbeing\, but more widely on the social\, political and economic\nsuccess of society.\nOur experiences and choices earlier in life can significantly affect how we experience later\nlife. Changing policies to optimise life-opportunities require us to reshape deficit-focused\nageing narratives\, towards those focused on valuing dignity as we age. Social exclusion\,\npoor mental health and reduced prospects of employment are all outcomes we can influence\nfor the better. Extended quality contact between generations has been shown to positively\ninfluence the attitudes of younger people towards older citizens. The extent to which we value\nand respect each other is a fundamental indicator of a successful society. \n  \nShifting the narrative\nTo date\, we have failed\, collectively\, to realise the value of ageing\, much less incorporating\nthis value into governmental policies to benefit the wider population. Government and its\nagencies use policy levers to influence individuals and groups to behave differently. By\ncareful positioning of key tipping points\, people and behaviours can be shifted with relative\nease. The trick is positioning the right lever for greatest benefit\, without expending too much\neffort or causing harm.\nThe health and social care infrastructure is currently poorly configured and inadequately\nresourced to meet the demands of whole population ageing\, let alone realise the value\nsociety should place on maintaining dignity as we age. It is now essential to explore the\ndevelopment of new policy levers\, focused on realising the value of maintained respect and\ndignity for all citizens as they age\, as a means of promoting a thriving society \n  \n  \nAbout the Speakers:\nProfessor Paul Kingston is Professor of Ageing and Mental Health & Co-Director:\nWestminster Centre for Research on Ageing\, Mental Health and Veterans\, University\nof Chester. Former Chair of NHS England’s National Safeguarding Adult Network and\nits Steering Group. He is Independent Chair for Adult Safeguarding in Wigan and\nIndependent Safeguarding Chair for Dudley Safeguarding People Partnership.\nProfessor Martin Vernon qualified as a doctor in 1988 in Manchester. He trained as a\nGeriatrician and General Internal Physician in the North West of England and London before\nbecoming an NHS Consultant in Manchester in 1999 where he practices medicine. He has a\nMA in Medical Ethics and Law from King’s College London\, teaches these subjects at Salford\nUniversity and was appointed Visiting Professor at the University of Chester in 2016.\nPaul McGarry is Head of the Greater Manchester Ageing Hub and is an Honorary Research\nFellow at the University of Manchester.
