Healthy Ageing

The ageing population is widely recognised as one of the biggest challenges for our future. For 2017/2018 we have identified the need to draw many of these aspects together, and create a cross-cutting approach for innovation and spread in healthy ageing and frailty.

This programme will focus on opportunities to slow the onset of, and reduce the severity of, frailty through innovation and the rapid spread of new approaches.
