2009 Marjorie Coote Memorial Lecture
Baroness Julia Neuberger DBE
“Don’t get old”
Thursday 19 November 2009
Venue: Lecture Theatre 3, School of Medicine,
Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Beech Hill Road, Sheffield
As we age as a society, we seem to be less and less good at conceptualising what it means to age well. Instead of a truly person-centred holistic approach, we medicalise the normal signs of ageing and treat individuals as if they are a 'problem' consisting of discrete illnesses. What might it look like if we thought quite differently about old age and older people, and what might it look like if we really planned for our own older age?
