The population is ageing across the World and with that we are seeing a significant decrease in our younger counterparts who will be available to care for our older population. Therefore, we need to be more creative and innovative in the delivery of care in the future. At the same time our ageing population present with many co-morbidities that remain with them. Nevertheless, older adults are not a homogenous group.

Let us “Grasp the nettle” and provide the care and support to enable our older population to live their lives fully and independently for as long as possible.

Warm Regards,
