Healthy Ageing Summit
2023
Rethinking ageing: Enabling people to live stronger, healthier, independent lives.
Ageing is one thing we all have in common, but many factors will influence how healthily we live as we get older. As the number of people aged 65 and over is set to double to 1.6million by 2051, our rapidly ageing population is poised to become one of the most significant social transformations of the 21st century with implications for almost all parts of society.
- Is Ireland ready to face up to the impact this significant demographic change will have on society?
- Have we considered how public policy will need to change?
- Are government policy responses keeping pace with demographic change?
- What is our vision and strategy not only for the immediate future, but for the long-term?
These are some key questions we will be asking at The Business Post’s inaugural Healthy Ageing Summit.
This event will bring together health care providers, residential and homecare leaders, researchers, NGOs and policymakers at all levels of government to share knowledge and inspire new ideas and innovations that will enable people to live healthier, stronger and independent lives as they age. Delegates in health and care services, housing, research, technology and design will seek to improve best practices in aged care so that older people everywhere can live healthier, stronger, more independent lives.
