Ageing Well

People in England can now expect to live for far longer than ever before – but these extra years of life are not always spent in good health, with many people developing conditions that reduce their independence and quality of life.

The NHS has a key role to play in helping older people manage these long-term conditions, making sure they receive the right kind of support to help them live as well as possible.

Our NHS Long Term Plan will give them greater control over the care they receive, with more care and support being offered in or close to people’s homes, rather than in hospital.

We will also make better use of technology such as wearable devices and monitors to support people with long term health problems in new ways, helping them to stay well and live independently for longer.

We are offering to help you to age well. This means that we assess your ageing and offer interventions to assist you to remail younger for longer!
