Ageing Lives

The ageing process impacts our everyday lives in diverse ways. In this cluster, we examine how different individuals and communities are enabled or deterred from healthy ageing.

We consider the delivery and impact of health and care policies, as well as attitudes and beliefs towards issues such as medicines management and keeping active.
