Join the Live Longer Better Network
A revolution is underway in Kent and Medway to enable people to live longer better, reduce the need for health and social care and reverse the effects of lockdown. The Live Longer Better network has three aims: 1) Increase physical, cognitive and emotional activity 2) Increase healthy life expectancy and compress the period of dependency 3) Reduce the need for health and social care because a person with greater strength, stamina, skill and suppleness has greater resilience and is less likely to need acute care.
Whether you’re a strategic lead or a front-line worker providing services for older people in Kent and Medway, you’re invited to join the Live Longer Better Network to keep up to date with the Live Longer Better Revolution.
