About the Event
A one day conference designed to share research and practice development activity currently being undertaken by the wellbeing and public health team, focusing on promoting the health and wellbeing of the older age group. The work is carried out by multi-disciplinary teams across the university and puts the wellbeing of the older person at its core.
Presentations will cover:
- How a favourable dining experience is important to ensure the best possible nutritional intake, with mealtimes central to nutritional care and quality of life of residents in care homes.
- Investigating the impacts of friendship clubs seeking to reduce social isolation in the older age group.
- How retirement incomes have fallen for many, whilst essential living costs have increased, with consequential impacts on financial, health and social aspects of well-being. We look at how these people are coping with the downturn and its impact on their lives.
- The emerging findings of a study indicating how older peoples’ sense of well-being in rural life is particularly connected to a sense of embedded ‘at-homeness’ in their locality and landscape. It is this intertwining of rurality, well-being and ageing that is emerging as pivotal for understanding older peoples’ mobility needs.

Great post here. One thing I would really like to say is that most professional career fields consider the Bachelors Degree as the entry level standard for an online college diploma. When Associate Qualifications are a great way to start out, completing the Bachelors presents you with many doorways to various jobs, there are numerous on-line Bachelor Diploma Programs available by institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another concern is that many brick and mortar institutions provide Online variants of their diplomas but often for a substantially higher payment than the institutions that specialize in online diploma plans.
