The increase in older people is evident in developing countries, which will account for the majority of older persons within the next 30 years. IPTOP hopes to grow its membership in LMIC to better support physiotherapists working with older people in those countries #OlderPeoplesDay

I did more than just physio-therapy today. A daughter and son told me that when I made their dad laugh, it was the first time he had smiled since being in hospital. He’s an old guy, he’d been really poorly that weekend, (1/2)

'The NHS wouldn’t tell a surgeon to stop an operation halfway through.

'A pharmacist wouldn’t hand out 40% of a course of antibiotics.

I cannot express enough how much I enjoy spending time with this passionate group of people who love enriching older people’s lives.

So grateful for their patience with my illness, checking in on and being gentle with me! 🩵
That’s a wrap! The AGILE committee would like to thank you all so much for attending our conference for the last two days. It is truly a delight and privilege to run these days, but it wouldn’t be as good if people didn’t turn up and engage!
