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 – provides 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 – will embrace 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:

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