Four Key Themes
The conference will reflect the real impact of care on our lives and our societies by focussing on four key themes:
- Health, Social Care and Well-being: how do modern societies and economies manage care in the face of demographic change?
- Caring and Employment: how can we support people to juggle work and care, contributing to economic and social sustainability?
- Funding, Financial and Legal Support: where should the responsibility for funding care lie between individual, family, community and the state?
- Technology, Design and the Built Environment: how can technology support the delivery of care, and transform the lives of individuals and families?
The conference speaker line-up is world class with keynotes and workshop presentations from more than 20 countries. Join with colleagues from the UK, mainland Europe and as far afield as Australia and India, China and the USA, to add your voice to the global debate.
