A consensus on healthy ageing

HTML

Details

This consensus statement defines the shared commitment of the signatory organisations. It is the first time that such a wide range of organisations have come together to voice their intention to promote healthy ageing. Signatories span the areas of health, employment, housing and communities, and are from academia, local government, the NHS, and the public and voluntary sectors.

The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) and the Centre for Ageing Better continue to work to develop and promote good practice, share learning and experience, and inspire others so everyone can look forward to a healthy later life.

Organisations can use the consensus statement to champion the 5 principles across their workplaces and networks and by becoming part of the UK Network of Age-Friendly Communities.
