News (Ageing and Older People)

We’re launching a new research programme to find out about care options for older people. We’re keen to hear from social care commissioners and care providers about care options in local areas.

What's your wish for the NHS? We asked the NHS Older People's Sounding Board what they thought and this is what they said.

The Age Action Alliance has been relaunched with a brand-new website. It’s run by The English Ageing Network (EngAgeNet) in partnership with our Ageing and Older People team.

David Vickers is a member of the Older People’s Sounding Board. It’s a group we facilitate on behalf of NHS England where members use their skills and experience to provide feedback on policy proposals. The group also shares their views on the wider issues of wellbeing through themed conversations.
