As life expectancy continues to increase, will this result in an extension of active life, or an explosion in requirements for care? As the recent report “ The State of Social Care in England 2005-6” by the Commission for Social Care Inspection has graphically highlighted, public service can no longer be relied upon to provide care; more families will have to “provide or pay”.

With most social service departments broke, but with significant changes in family relationships, upon which informal care has traditionally relied, who will care for us in our old age?

International Foundation for Intelligent Living brings together academics, providers and other interested speakers to debate this crucial issue. (Buffet lunch provided).
