Often the hardest of times bring out the best and most innovative changes. How we respond and how we react to the significant challenges we all face will be critical for older people. This major event will bring together more than 200 service professionals to explore the potential opportunities we have in relation to commissioning, design, delivery and quality of services.
Chaired by Dianne Jeffrey CBE DL, Chairman of Age UK, the conference features a high-profile panel of service experts, including Dan Corry, Chief Executive, New Philanthropy Capital; Professor Dennis L Kodner, International Visiting Fellow, The Kings Fund, and Co-Director, Aetna Foundation Care Co-ordination Study; Phil Hope, Director of Improving Care; and Dr Gabriella Spinelli, Director of the Business Strategy and Innovation Programme, Brunel Institute for Ageing Studies, Brunel University.
Attend this event and take away practical ideas to make what you do even better and gain useful contacts to keep in touch with.
The afternoon plenary session of the conference is focused on 'service design', with key speakers addressing what 'service design' actually is, the importance of service design and sharing examples of best practice. Prior to the conference, a conversation was facilitated via twitter to find out more about what our followers thought on the issue, from how small changes could make a big difference and the extent to which consumers are involved in the design of services?

Downloads
A download is a document (like a research report, a leaflet, or an application form) that can be transferred from our website to your computer. You can download a file, view it on your screen, print it, or save it to your computer.
PDF stands for ‘portable document format’.
Most downloads on this website are PDFs. We use this format to ensure that the document looks the same on everyone’s computer (website pages, by contrast, appear differently depending on how people have set their computer up).
Computers use a program called Adobe Acrobat Reader to download PDFs. If you try clicking on a link to download a PDF and it doesn’t work, you will need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader onto your computer.
The process is quite straightforward and is free.
PDFs cannot be changed. If you need to be able to type into a downloaded document (for example, if we are offering a letter template that you need to put your name on) we will provide it as a Microsoft Word document rather than a PDF. You can then download it, type into it and save it to your computer.
Downloads will open on your computer in a new browser window.
Inside this window (below all your web browser menus), there will be a toolbar with options for you to print or save the document.
Close the browser window to return to the Age UK website.
We have made every effort to make our PDFs accessible to screen readers. Here is an overview of your accessibility options available in Acrobat Reader. Please ensure that you have downloaded the latest version of Acrobat Reader from the Adobe Reader website to ensure that they are included in your version of the programme.
You can use Adobe Reader to read a PDF out loud with the following shortcut keys:
You can also convert a PDF into a web page by following these steps:
You can convert a PDF document into a text file for use with other software and hardware such as Braille printers by opening the PDF and choosing ‘Save as text’ from the File menu.
