Care & Repair England is offering free places at a forthcoming national conference, supported by the British Society of Gerontology, which will bring together researchers and those involved in shaping policy, commissioning and providing services in the field of falls prevention.
Falling through the Gaps?
Connecting research, policy and practice in the field of ageing, falls prevention and housing interventions
Date/Place - 15th July, 10am-3.30pm, Central London
At a time of unprecedented reductions in public expenditure, higher standards of evidence are being demanded of the cost benefits of even established services such as falls prevention. The housing related interventions to reduce the incidence of falls, such as low cost home adaptations & repair services, are at particular risk.
This event will showcase some of the latest policy developments and research in the field, including the Public Health perspective, NICE guidelinesand new cost benefit modelling by the Building Research Establishment, as well as hearing from those at the sharp end who are pioneering new approaches.
There is a fantastic line up of speakers, including Lord Filkin, Chair of the Centre for Ageing Better, and Professor Sheila Peace, President of the British Society of Gerontology.
The event will provide an opportunity to build links between academics, planners, commissioners,service providers and older people.
