Ageing Well series of public talks- UPDATE
Due to the developing situation with COVID-19 and the emerging advice from the OU the last two in the series of public talks by Jitka Vseteckova have been postponed to a rescheduled date later on in the year. We will post a further update as soon as we can.
Jitka Vseteckova is delighted to announce a series of public talks with the title ‘Ageing Well’, which will be offered at the Open University in Milton Keynes.
Many changes can be brought about by ageing. Most of the changes are physiological processes, they come naturally, and produce physical and mental deterioration. However, timely interventions such as nutrition, hydration, physical, cognitive and social stimulation can prevent or delay these processes.
Over the past 14 years Jitka Vseteckova has been developing and delivering educational interventions such as this, to facilitate healthy ageing and prevent the fast deterioration for older people with and without dementia (both in the UK and overseas). ‘My experience is that older people are specific in that they are keen to learn but do not always have the opportunity, the finances or facilities to do so. I am passionate about building bridges between communities, in this case between the research community and those who will profit most from the findings of the research but may not have access to them.’
