Keeping safe and maintaining independence: older people and sight loss
Date: Nov 28, 2011 09:30:00 AM to 16:00
Details:
This workshop is concerned with sight loss in later life and how we can enable people to live a quality life despite the difficulties that arise from diminished vision.
The event will share current ‘state of the art’ thinking and will also provide opportunities for delegates to explore the issues and identify new ideas for research, for education and for practice.
The workshop, which is free to all delegates has been organised through a partnership between KT-EQUAL, Thomas Pocklington Trust and the College of Occupational Therapists Specialist Section for Older People.
The programme has been constructed to appeal to a wide audience including older people and their advocates, occupational therapists and other practitioners from health, housing and social care, researchers from a variety of disciplines and educationalists.
