This report raises concerns about the significant impact that poor oral health is having on older people’s general health and quality of life. It makes a number of recommendations to improve oral healthcare for older people in England. They include: that key health and social care professionals should receive training in oral health; for regulators to make standards of oral care part of their assessments of hospitals and care homes; and for Government, health services, local authorities, care providers, regulators and the oral health profession to work together to improve access to dental services for older people. Although primarily applicable to England, a number of the recommendations also relevant for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. (Edited publisher abstract)

A statement which defines the shared commitment of signatory organisations to five principles for healthy ageing in England. The five principles are: Putting prevention first and ensuring timely access to services and support when needed; Removing barriers and creating more opportunities for older adults to contribute to society; Ensuring good homes and communities; Narrowing inequalities; and Challenging ageist and negative language, culture and practices. Signatory organisations cover the areas of health, employment, housing and communities, and are from academia, local government, the NHS, and the public and voluntary sectors.
