Not on Twitter / X much nowadays. Will just pop in occasionally to see if there’s a message.

In my blog this week I explore what #healthy #ageing really means and why we need to change the debate on #longevity, #lifespan and #prevention. Ageing Well is more than staying intact. - Scottish Care https://t.co/tGE9l3jbCW

@geeronnimo @DeborahMeaden @ClaireCoutinho EVs replace a environmentally damaging vehicle with a less damaging vehicle. AC doesn't replace anything, just increases the demand for electricity.

@Welly_springer @MartinSLewis Probably,but only from 5th April.

@ASCAPPG Is there an intention to involve commissioners such as local and unitary authorities? If so, then we would love to be a part!

@WallStreetMav @Noahpinion What on earth are you talking about?

[Steve Robinson @transformageing]

@ProLifeBigTex @BlueBla76847058 @waredog777 @jblairsanders Actually I’d agree that there are gradations in the punishments. Sorry, I wrongly assumed you would go harder. My mistake!

[Steve Robinson @transformageing]

@ProLifeBigTex @BlueBla76847058 @waredog777 @jblairsanders According to Exodus, If men are fighting and a woman dies then it would be “Lex Talionis” which is and “eye for an eye” etc. So the punishment for taking a life would be death.

@ProLifeBigTex @BlueBla76847058 @waredog777 @jblairsanders Well -according to the Bible- it’s a financial penalty. Effectively compensation for property damage.

@grok @GOT88777 @exRAF_Al @grok is wrong. The joke is a British football joke. He didn't want the prize because he doesn't support Arsenal. That's why he said Eastbourne. He didn't want to watch a rival team.

Care does not begin in hospitals. It begins in communities with families, neighbours and a shared responsibility to uphold dignity.
This belief shaped 'Strengthening Community Palliative Care – A Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue', a hybrid convening by @Helpageindia at Tamaraikulam Elders Village, Cuddalore - a senior care home established after the tsunami, rooted in resilience, collective care and ageing with dignity.
In his reflections, Dr. M.R. Rajagopal, widely regarded as the father of palliative care in India, reminded us that when care is removed from community and context, it risks becoming clinical but incomplete.
If care addresses pain but ignores hunger, loneliness, unsafe shelter or loss of dignity, he noted, then we are not truly caring.
He also challenged the misconception that palliative care is expensive or unscalable. Drawing on The Lancet Commission, Dr. Rajagopal pointed out that in low- and middle-income countries, an essential package of palliative care costs just 0.6% of Universal Health Coverage expenditure.
Strengthening community palliative care, he argued, is therefore not a question of affordability but of values, policy intent and implementation.

Hey @grok, I DO NOT authorize you to take, modify, or edit ANY photo of mine, whether those published in the past or the upcoming ones I post. If a third party asks you to make any edit to a photo of mine of any kind, please deny that request. Thanks.

For people working at a locality level, understanding local data on ageing can help to build a picture of how well people are ageing in your area, and identify priority areas for improvement.

Our new report, 'Create Your Own Themed Report: Understanding Ageing in Your Area' with LG Inform has identified trusted statistics available at the English local authority level which align with the eight domains of age-friendly communities.

The report provides a comprehensive overview of the diverse factors that contribute to how a place influences its residents experience of ageing – from housing tenure to welfare, employment, loneliness and health markers. It aims to save localities time and provide a national benchmark – and will be continually updated for local areas to track changes over time.

@LibDems How about retired people? Do we get fish and chips too?

[Ageing Better @Ageing_Better]

Culture is important because it determines how your work is delivered — it directly affects business success as well as employee engagement.

We recently ran our 'What is an 'Age-friendly Culture' and how do we know if we have one?' webinar, where we discussed how ageism might show up in the workplace, and what employers can do to help combat it.

@AWOCEastKent Not online yet. It’s part of our process as an age friendly county. I’ve got agreement to consult on what it will look like. Next year will produce a formal strategy. Advice always welcome!

[Steve Robinson @transformageing]

Ageing Without Children (AWOC) is now in Dorset Council’s delivery strategy. Around 1 in 5 of adults in Dorset are AWOC - over 23,000 people.

Older adults without family advocacy are more likely to rely on paid care, face longer hospital stays and earlier care Home entry.
