Session Overview: As population ageing becomes increasingly evident around the world, health professionals must ensure their knowledge and skills reflect the care needs of older adults. Central to providing individualised and high quality care is an understanding of the complex factors that can impact on health and health care in later life. This session will explore individual and contextual considerations that impact on health in later life and on the engagement of older adults with health advice. This discussion will include a focus on how these considerations are impacted by the current pandemic.
