Case Studies

A new Good Practice Guide, containing top tips for managing the crisis of older people’s emergency admissions to hospital, has now been sent to every hospital trust in the country.

As part of our work with Sandwell & West Birmingham Clinical Commissioning Group, we have recently completed a project with national organisation, iMPOWER, which required  the thoughts and views of older people.

Hundreds of people across Sandwell and West Birmingham were encouraged to take up their free flu jab last winter thanks to Agewell.

Community or hospital? This was one of the questions Sandwell and West Birmingham Clinical Commissioning Group asked Agewell to gauge opinion about recently to ensure local clinics meet local needs.

As part of Sandwell's modernisation of older people’s services, it was proposed that four of the five council-run residential homes should close.

In response to the discussion launched by the Department of Health entitled ‘Caring for our Future: shared ambitions for care and support’, Agewell staged a major consultation event.

Agewell is actively involved with the Action Research Centre for Healthy Ageing (ARCHA) which enables older people to air their views by taking part in a host of research.
