The conference will focus on four key themes:
· Health, social care and well-being: how do modern societies and economies manage care in the face of demographic change and more mobile populations?
· Combining work and care: how can we support people to manage their working and caring lives, contributing to business, economic and social sustainability?
· Paying for care: how can we share the costs of care between the individual, family, community and the state? How can we ensure there is a vibrant market for care?
· Technology-enabled care and support: how can new technologies support the delivery of care, transform the lives of individuals and families and drive economic growth?
It will provide an excellent opportunity for different stakeholders and communities involved in care and caring to:
· Hear the latest developments on research, policy and practice from world class speakers
· Share experience and expertise with academics and practitioners across the whole spectrum of health and care
· Understand the demographics underpinning societal and economic change
· Examine the challenges to sustainable health and care
· Explore innovations in technology-enabled care and support
· Consider the role of housing and design
· Look at how we support carers in employment
· Debate international solutions to paying for care
This conference will bring together the key players working to frame solutions to one of the century’s greatest challenges.
