Ageing Well - Virtual Talk

Join Voluntary Health Scotland and The Open University (OU) for the first in series of joint online events exploring ageing, health and wellbeing.

Led by Dr Jitka Vseteckova, OU Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Wellbeing, Education & Language Studies, with input from Maureen O’Neill, Director of Faith in Older People, and Nicola Hanssen, CEO of Roar - Connections for Life. 

In this series we are exploring how important it is, over our lifespan, to maintain a well-balanced nutrition and hydration as well as regular physical and social activity in the older age, also known as the ‘Five Pillars of Ageing Well’.

This talk will cover basic biomedical and psycho-social aspects of ageing,  age-related conditions e.g. bone health, frailty etc. What will the impact of Covid-19 be for ageing well?

Book your free place on the Eventbrite page for the Ageing Well Virtual Talk. Once registered, Voluntary Health Scotland will send you the link for the online event and information on accessing the meeting.

There is a range of free learning about ageing well, on the OU's free learning site OpenLearn, including a video and short article by Dr Jitka Vseteckova, on How to age well while self-isolating.
