Dear All
Lifelong Learning, Older People and Society Seminars
I have pleasure in listing details, below, of the Autumn Series of seminars. Our first seminar takes place on Friday 26 September, when Mick Connell, Director of Adult Social Care and Health at Leicestershire County Council will be speaking on personalising adult social care. As before the seminars are free but will take place in a different venue - the 4th floor of the Charles Wilson building, on the main University campus.
Please let Isobel know if you would like to attend on any of the dates.
With good wishes,
John
