This special event in collaboration with the Alzheimer’s Society and NHS England will bring together some of the cutting-edge insight that is emerging from the Health as a Social Movement programme.

The RSA is currently supporting NHS vanguard site Airedale and Partners as part of the Health as a Social Movement programme to support a culture shift in eight care homes in Leeds, Airedale, and the surrounding areas, which is being led by the Alzheimer’s Society.

This event will help connect RSA Fellows and Alzheimer Society programme leads together to share best practice and learn from their successes. This event will also showcase other work of RSA Fellows working to improve the quality of life of people living in care homes.

Join us at this special event in Leeds to spark new conversations and discover ideas that have the potential to become a powerful source for a culture shift in care homes and our associations with longevity.
