While Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire’s population of older people continues to grow, the COVID-19 pandemic and cost-of-living crisis have and still are making health inequalities worse and increasing pressure on health and social care systems.
Did you know, inactivity costs our health system £1.6billion each year? Simple physical, cognitive and emotional activity can help reduce this problem and increase people’s health span.
Our Integrated Local Care Board (ICB) wants to shake things up and help get people moving later in life, so, together with Think Active and Age UK Coventry & Warwickshire they bring you the ‘Living Longer, Better’ Conference.
This event aims to bring together key partners, stakeholders and audience representatives to commit to improving systems, recommending and prescribing activity and changing our attitudes to ageing.
With high-profile speakers to inspire, inform, and discuss opportunities and challenges for supporting Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire’s ageing population to move more, don’t miss this chance to connect, share and explore conversations with other delegates.
The event will run from 10:00am to 3:30pm (with lunch included) on Wednesday 29th March, at the Radcliffe Conference Centre at the University of Warwick. Keynote speaker Sir Muir Gray, leading expert on healthy, active ageing has already been confirmed! You can book onto the conference here:
