This webinar discussion looks at the state of healthy ageing and prevention across Europe.
This event was chaired by Patrick Swain, Research and Development Manager at ILC-UK and coordinator of the ILC Europe Network. Speakers:
- Dr Katerina Machacova, Director, ILC-Czech Republic

In this webinar, we used ILC-UK’s Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index to explore what health and wellbeing looks like in different European countries.
This webinar will inform a policy document to advocate better commitments from European policymakers on healthy ageing and prevention. With less than a year to go until the European Parliament elections, we want to highlight the key challenges and opportunities to politicians in Brussels and beyond.
