We know that most people who have been infected have a mild illness and recover, but if you feel anxious about COVID-19, you’re not alone. Looking after our mental health is just as important as our physical health.

Lifestyle helps healthy ageing. It's nice science, but I sometimes wish we put as much effort into implementing. Lifestyle is the epitome of a discipline struggling to cross the translational gap. Sigh.... #ScienceLostinTranslation ....... :-/ A gap for @InnovAgeUK @nipalm ?

[Healthy Ageing Fife @AgeingWellFife]

What better way to update your knowledge of Frailty than a Grand Round Masterclass on the subject?

You can find all the details of this fantastic opportunity on this flyer #FallsAwareness #FallsPrevention
