New Frontiers in Caring: 2010 and Beyond

Building on the success of the 4th International Conference in Toronto, Carers UK and the University of Leeds are pleased to invite you to the 5th International Carers Conference, which will take place from 8-11 July 2010.

How we manage care and caring in a changing and ageing world is one of the world's greatest challenges, touching everyone's lives.

This conference again brings together the international community of researchers, practitioners and those with an interest in caring to debate the critical issues and exchange expertise and experience. Mapping the policy framework from around the world, the conference will explore innovation and seek real solutions to the care crunch.

The conference will focus on four key themes, identified through latest international debate:

• Health, Social Care and Well-being Services
• Caring and Employment
• Technology, Design and the Built Environment
• Financial and Legal Planning, Products and Services

Further information about the agenda and themes can be read here...

At this conference delegates will:
