Sarah Pickup (confirmed)
President, Association of Directors of Adult Social Services
“Engaged in older age”
Our duty to older people as a society extends beyond health and social care and into a wider culture change: an increased recognition of all that older people have to offer, and increased support for them to fulfil their potential and lead active lives embedded within their local communities. In what way does the Care and Support White Paper broach these needs, and what role can staff within health and care services play in supporting these changes?

Chair, Royal College of GPs
“Out of hospitals and into communities: Making every contact count”
With older people currently accounting for 70% of occupied hospital beds and a government drive to shift the later life care paradigm out of hospitals and into communities, what can primary and community care do to prevent avoidable admissions, keeping people for as long as possible in a home environment?

Ruthe Isden (confirmed)
Public Services Programme Manager, Age UK
“Promoting equality in elderly care provision”
From October 2012, patients have the right to sue if they have been denied care based on age alone. What does this mean for the way that staff within health and social care settings work? How can we ensure that all people can receive a personal, fair and diverse service based on their individual needs rather than their age?

Jocelyn Cornwell (confirmed)
Director, Point of Care Programme, The King's Fund
“Revolutionary service design and delivery: Transforming the care experience of older patients”
With recent research suggesting that cognitive decline may be positively correlated with time spent in hospital amongst the elderly, how can we create a care environment that is not only medically efficacious, but also conducive to psychological and emotional wellbeing? The King's Fund Point of Care Programme is implementing innovative techniques such as Experience-Based Co-Design and rounds purely for social and emotional issues to improve the care experience for patients and staff alike.
This talk will offer insights and lessons learned from this initiative, with suggestions for its specific application with elderly and frail patients.

Margaret Harries (confirmed)
Lead Nurse for Older Adults, University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust
“Dignity for all”
Taking dignified care from the realm of best practice to standard provision across health and social services is a necessary but difficult task in a sector in which the workforce is under great pressure in time and funds. One such example of best practice is the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust's Dignity and Older People's Champions project, which won the Nursing Times Awards for Care of Older People in 2011 and featured in the Commission on Dignity in Care for Older People report Delivering Dignity in 2012.
What lessons can be learned from this pioneering work, and how can we instigate similar transformations across health and social services that will benefit the care experience of older people?

Alice Fuller (confirmed)
Policy and Parliamentary Affairs Lead, National Council for Palliative Care
“Commissioning end of life care”
Any considerations we give to helping people to live well must also be extended to the concept of dying well in circumstances characterised by dignity, choice, empowerment, and excellent clinical and emotional care. The current changes to commissioning processes across health and social care services mean we are in a unique period of opportunity for innovation in the provision of palliative care across the country.
How can the quality of choice and care for people who are dying be improved, whilst at the same time making efficiency savings and increasing involvement of people using services and the local community?

Dr Linda Patterson (confirmed)
Clinical Vice President, Royal College of Physicians
“Meeting the clinical needs of later life: The role of technology and innovation”
Health problems such as Alzheimer's and dementia, Parkinson's disease, osteoporosis, hearing loss, eye disease, heart disease, cancer and diabetes are all prevalent conditions in ageing populations. Though it is a testament to our modern healthcare system that life expectancy is increasing, this has made the clinical concerns of older people a much more pressing concern, and the need to develop new and innovative practices within healthcare to accommodate this a necessity.
How can innovation and new technologies help us to ensure that the health needs of the elderly are at the forefront of medical practice? How can they assist us in forming successful prevention and early intervention programmes to minimise the prevalence of degenerative disease for the next generation of elderly service users? How can they help to prevent hospital admissions and support elderly service users to live safely and confidently in their own homes?

Panel Debate
“The impact of demographic change on public services: How do we make sure we don't fail the Baby Boomers?”
The most pressing demographic change facing the UK at the moment and into the future is the fact that most of us will live for at least a decade longer than was expected when we were born.
Living longer and healthier lives is of course a welcome change, but what does this mean for individuals and localities, and for the provision of public services – many of which were designed and developed for a vastly different British public than that of today? What changes will have to be made to pensions, housing provision and health and social care to meet this challenge? In what way can new technologies and innovations help?
