About this event
The way we care for older people, and the value society places on them and their carers, has become an ever-more urgent topic. This event launches a new book from Routledge, 'Making Relational Care Work for Older People: Exploring innovation and best practice in everyday life', which takes a unique approach to the subject.
Author Jenny Kartupelis will offer insights based on her extensive survey work, into the critical factors that promote greater emotional and physical wellbeing for older people and carers, followed by presentations and commentary from a range of experts, and audience questions.
