A set of expert-authored briefing papers which explore a range of topics relevant to supporting and improving people’s health and wellbeing as they grow older in the UK. The papers cover: older people and the social determinants of health, which highlights the early life social, economic and environmental factors which shape health in later life; health and social care services, which explores how the structure, delivering and integration of services can be developed to meet the needs of older people with complex and multiple conditions; older people’s mental health and wellbeing, and how it can be better supported and maintained; living with long term conditions, which looks at how to better support older adults manage chronic health conditions or disability; the perception of ageing and age discrimination; and supporting carers. Each briefing paper sets out recommendations for policymakers and actions doctors can take to support the process of healthy ageing. (Edited publisher abstract)
