Thank you to our delegates, speakers, contributors, exhibitors and sponsors for supporting the 2023 Global Ageing Conference and additional events.

About the conference
The 2023 Global Ageing Network’s biennial conference in Glasgow in conjunction with Scottish Care and the National Care Forum – leading care and support provider associations in Scotland and England – provided an outstanding opportunity and venue for colleagues to gather in a unique forum dedicated to shared learning and professional networking.

Our conference theme, Care about Our Future: global symposium for sustainable care and support – embraced a future perspective and feature thought leadership, innovative ideas, research, projects and/or programmes that address specific needs in supported housing, homecare, residential and nursing care and support. Topics covered in recent conferences and of the greatest interest to our members and delegates include:

Human rights, along with issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion, focused on those with the lived experience of care and support and their participation as citizens, as well as those who work in our sector.

The central role of music, the visual arts, and creativity in elevating the quality of life and wellbeing of those receiving our care and support.

Innovative and novel models of care, support and/or services designed to meet the needs and preferences of upcoming cohorts of consumers.

Ethical considerations in the delivery care and support services, as well as national responses to global challenges, including the movement of populations in need, as well as the service export market.

Workforce challenges for both managers and front-line workers, including recruitment and retention strategies that reflect the workplace of the future and staff wellbeing.

Change management, leadership practices, as well as development strategies for the workforce and boards of directors/trustees.

Wellness, dementia care, as well as culture change and person-directed care initiatives.

Enabling technologies aimed at improving care and service delivery, including care coordination and health system optimisation that leverage technology and data to improve outcomes and gain efficiencies.

Housing and supportive service delivery models that empower independence and facilitate ageing in the community.

Advanced design and operations, including new buildings as well as the expansion and renovation of existing buildings, interiors and landscapes that support healthy and engaged living.

Issues related to continuous quality improvement and care coordination.
