The next chat is on Monday 3rd July at our usual time of 8pm BST. This is a chat hosted by the CSP professional network AGILE – or @AGILECSP
They write ‘We want to explore what the physiotherapy community understand by the term health inequalities in relation to older people; their experiences of different types of inequality and ways to tackle inequalities’
Chat questions
- What do you interpret/understand by the term ‘health inequalities’ particularly in relation to older people?
- What are your experiences of older people’s health inequalities within your service and are there some inequalities that are frequently overlooked?
- What digital inequalities do older people experience and how does this affect their ability to manage health conditions? How do we as physiotherapists support them/adapt our management approach?
- The number of older LGBT+ people is increasing and all too often they can continue to feel excluded, both in spaces set up to support older people and on the LGBT+ scenes. How do we include older LGBT+ within our services?
- Can you share examples of good practice to tackle health inequalities and provide a good standard of care for older people
