The Healthy Later Living Network works with external partners from the health and social care, public, and third sectors to address the challenges in this area. By engaging with these organisations and with older adults directly, the network can better understand the needs, priorities, and challenges for maintaining independence and mobility and address these through collaborative research.
In parallel, our researchers are working with health and social care organisations, and the housing, retirement, and care sectors, to address the implications of declining independence and mobility from a policy and service-needs perspective.
