Ageing Well: a series of talks with the Open University

December 7, 2020

Between May 2020 and January 2021 the Open University and VHS ran a joint series of online talks and discussions on the topic of ‘Ageing Well’.

Led by Dr Jitka Vsecteckova, Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Health and Social Care with the Open University, with discussion and input from third sector staff, volunteers and older people themselves, these talks centred on gaining an understanding of the 5 Pillars of Ageing and considered their implications for older people’s health and wellbeing.

The slide presentations from Dr Jitka Vsecteckova are below:

First talk: 7th May: Are we prepared to live longer?

Second talk: 25th June : The Ageing Brain

Third talk: 23rd July: Nutritional needs while ageing

Fourth Talk: Pharmacotherapy while ageing

Fifth Talk: 14 October- Move it and breathe

Sixth Talk: 8th December: Standing Tall

Seventh Meeting: 27th January 2021: A Knowledge Exchange – read the Key Messages report here.
