Tony Watts OBE - Healthy Ageing Conference

Tony Watts OBE – Adding life to your years

Tony has been writing and campaigning in the later life zone for over 35 years, including editing the UK’s first national newspaper for older people and representing older people in Government in a number of roles. His passion is trying to persuade decision-makers to view the challenges and opportunities of our ageing society holistically – “joining the dots” between health, care, isolation and housing, and between later life employment, pensions and poverty – and he runs the 200-strong Age Action Alliance as a collaborative, knowledge-sharing network.

In 2014 he received an OBE for his services to older people.

 

Healthy Ageing conference Professor Anna Whittaker – Unlocking the Physical and Psychological Benefits of Movement 

Professor Anna Whittaker is a Professor of Behavioural Medicine in Sport at the University of Stirling. Join us for an insightful talk exploring the key physical and psychological benefits of physical activity in later life. Drawing on recent research, particularly studies conducted in care homes, she will delve into the impact of resistance training and other forms of physical activity on the physical, social, and psychological well-being of older adults. She will also examine the role of technology in promoting physical activity for ageing populations.
